The other end of the ducts interfaces with the exterior in places which are not susceptible to rainwater seepage.

Claims

1. An air duct or series of air ducts, no longer than six inches, mounted directly into the framework of an automobile'"'"'s passenger compartment in which one end of the duct interfaces with the exterior air and the other end interfaces with the automobile'"'"'s interior air at the front of the rear seat well.
