Don't use foam for those seals. It decomposes in a decade or so. Use
rubber roofing material. Talk to a roofer, he'll get you some. Easy to
cut, lasts forever, seals up tight.

Subject: replacement of fresh air fan

Well last spring  the fresh air fan was shot and smoking so I pulled out
the
dashboard on the 91 GL this afternoon and got the fresh air fan out
(tough
going on breaking apart those 18 plastic "welds".  My replacement from
VW
didn't come with any "weatherstripping" so I was going to head to Home
Depot
and look at what they had that I could use.  Additionally I noticed that
alot of the flaps in the heater/freah air  box have deteriorated foam
seals.
The seal looks like the foam stuff they use at times as an air
conditioner
filter.  Thought I might try to glue some into place and get the best
possible seal I could.  Any experience in this area?  Any help would be
appreciated.
