A clarification of my previous rambling about the through-door ducting in my
'80 Westy:
1. The bottom edge of the B-pillar duct seals were being hit by the plastic
piece in the bottom rear corner of the doors that includes the sliding vent.
The interference (overlap) was about 3/8 inch.  Should these pieces not
overlap, or do they overlap and not touch?
2.  There was a blocking plate (OEM piece) over the duct in the front
doorsill on the passenger side ONLY -- and no sign of one ever having been
installed in the driver's-side duct.  Is this related to the fresh-air-fan
option not being installed?
Thanks again to all for your patience, and help.
