Vent gasket

Post by Divers »

Anyone know where I can get the gasket that goes between the inside vent and the dash...so all the air goes thru the dash vents.

Thanks!

You mean the one under the dash that seals to the defroster duct? You can just use generic adhesive backed foam insulation.

Csaba,

I tried that and did not like the way it sealed. I will have to get a sheet of isulation and then cut that instead of the strips I was trying.

when i needed a gasket for the tail lights i found that a life presever has 1/8"closed cell foam inside
and so thats what i used i think it will work for you as well
