Subject:Tips on sealing heater box flaps, and while the dash is out . . .
From:Rocket J Squirrel

Gotta pull the dash on Tuesday to replace the cable that operates the
flaps the send air to the driver and passenger feetsies. While the dash
is open, gonna open the heater box and replace the core with a new Behr
one from Van-Cafe. Might as well replace the hot water valve, too.

And take care of the gasketing that help seal the flaps when the flaps
are in the closed position.

Can anyone recommend a good heater-box-flap-gasket-replacement material?

AND, what else is a good idea to take care of while the dash is out?
This is the time to do it!!!!

Many thanks for all the help.
