Abstract
A pressure equalization structure is provided. The pressure equalization structure includes a vehicle component comprising an internal cavity having a first volume, and a first passageway coupled to the internal cavity, and an equalization structure for equalizing air pressure in the internal cavity with ambient pressure. The equalization structure includes a first end coupled to the first passageway, a second end exposed to the ambient pressure, and a second passageway between the first end and the second end, the second passageway having a second volume. The equalization structure has an installed orientation in which the first end is arranged above the second end.
