A vehicle body structure has surfaces that define a door opening and a door. A first seal is attached to the surfaces that define the door opening surrounding the door opening. A second seal is attached to a peripheral surface of the door such that with the door in a closed orientation, the second seal contacts areas of the surfaces that define the door opening. The peripheral surfaces of the door between the first seal and the second seal, the first seal and the second seal define a space therebetween. A vent member is installed on a section of the first seal compressing that section of the first seal such that the vent member and an adjacent section of the door define a vent gap therebetween thereby allowing escape of air trapped and compressed within the space during movement of the door to the closed orientation.
