dash vents letting in air when off

Evening all,
been reading the stuff on c/c reset but cant seem to find an answer to my latest prob.
Ever since I got the car it seems to let a certain amount of air through the dash vents even when they are 'off'
is this just a trait of the ultima or is there a fault?
One of these days not to far away I will be able to say everything is as it should be and nothing is broken

Mine does that as well (when driving, not when standing still). Seems like the vent valves doesn't close 100%, and lets the pressure from the wind press air through.

You could always try pressing the air recirculation button and see if this cuts off the airflow, which i think it should.
