Default Air Pressure in Cab

Hey Everyone.....Merry Christmas..

I have a 95 Chevy Silverado Z/71 4x4 and it is almost impossible to close the doors without rolling down the window first due to the air pressure inside the cab. I know there must be a clogged vent somewhere but with all my Google search I have come up with zero. The man at the NAPA store said there were baffles in the door but stupid me isn't able to find any such thing. I have already broken the windshield and blew out the seal on the rear window trying to shut the doors. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks Everyone and again MERRY CHRISTMAS....

I will do that. As for the weather stripping, I agree. It was freezing here the other morning and I couldn't open the drivers side door due to it was frozen shut. Couldn't pull it apart. I thought the weather stripping would have come loose but it didn't. I got through using the passenger door.

google images of a cab and chassis... with the box removed you will see the vents that equalize allow air out of the cab
