I used wide foam tape to replace the rubber. I got it at an RV shop. It
is used to seal roof A/C units on RVs. It comes in White or White.
Three feet was two bucks.

Well I have finaly taken the plung. I was up in Breckenridge, CO this
weekend and needed the front blower, which has been out since the end of
last winter. I have had the replacement motor for a few weeks now and
started the job today. Not a bad job to remove the dash. I followed some
very helpful directions that I found on the list:

I was very surprised to see how rotted the foam is on all the vent doors.
It just flakes off when I touch it. Will head to home depot tomorrow to
find something similar. That should take care of the hot air blasting in
in the summer. For those of you looking to tackle this job, I have to say
there was no hard part. It is very straight forward. Will find out in the
next day or so how smoothly it goes back together, but I am very
confident! To think I was soooo close to dropping $600. on this job. Get
in there and learn about your van!!
