Caught this on Fox News.
There are holes everywhere on the C7 to let air in and out. Most you can see. There's one you can't see though. It's behind the rear fascia and called the Active Hatch Vent.
It has electronically-controlled louvers that open when you lift the hatch. It turns out that the hatch is so large that it acts like a spinnaker sail, catching a huge amount of air and creating a lot of resistance when you try to shut it. Instead, the vent relieves that air pressure to reduce effort, closing again only after the hatch is latched.
