Aha!  When one of my windows got stuck down, I discovered that the cabin is
pressurized...while trying to tape some saran-wrap to the opening.  Damn
that was annoying.  Air was gushing out so hard I couldn't get saran to
stay.

So, I guess that means my little flappy-thing isn't working.  Could also
explain why the car keeps fogging up...if that flappy-thing is stuck...no
airflow, and the rear windows fog up.

And then...

Aha!  I know that noise too.  I always wondered why, when you closed the
door, there was a:
<whump>(From door)
<whump>(From ????)
