Default Roof Vents???

This may be a dumb question but what are the 4 flaps (vents?) that are on the roof of my 04 coupe? My friends 997 also has them. I did a thread search but could not find an answer.

They are for attaching a roof rack. It snaps into those slots.



These cars are the SUVs of the sports car world.

They are also used to store extra car wax for future use.

Speaking of, one of mine doesn't pop back up nice and flush and I am pretty sure I can hear some wind noise from it at highway speeds. Is there any decent way to fix those so they pop out nice and flush again?

Mine is a bit messed up too, tried realigning it with the hinge but it's still a bit effed up, drives my OCD crazy
