Prop wash

Hope this is the right place to post this.
I fly a small Piper Cub which has a Continental A 65 engine,rotates clockwise looking from behind.
We have a sliding window on the left,I was told if I opened it it could be draughty due to prop wash.
Is the prop wash deflected down off the wing,or is just from the spiral off the rotating prop?
We also have a door and window on the right,I know some people fly with these open,is that possible because the door is in "calm" slipstream air?
