The RAVE manual says that there is one each side of the boot , consisting of a grille with a rubber flap to vent air from inside the car to the outside space under the bumper . Not sure if they are in the carpet side-liners or beneath them . If they have been sealed off then condensation will happen .
Hi. The vents you refer to are fitted into the metal of each side inside the boot where the wheel arch is. Sometimes these are not fitted properly at manufacture. Out of sight out of mind. You can fix this by running a bead of silicon sealer around the outside edge of them.Mine in the diesel have been ok, also the KV6. My friends Connie has/had a leak into the boot and we discovered that one of these was not fitted properly.
