isnt it so that when the cars stationary the fan draws cold air from the front only and when driving the air from front can blow straight throuigh the flaps.....

that was my understanding aye! when fan is sucking away the flaps seal shut to prevent air being drawn in from the bay, but when driving along the flaps open to allow more airflow thru zee rad
