Gliders seal gaps to make control surfaces more effective and to create more lift. The rear panel vents are directly behind the gas tank. One of the problems of letting air fill a pocket is after if fills for a while, it unfills. The result is buffet. The vents may be to keep the back panel from rumbling due to the turbulent air behind the gas tank.
