Re: Air inlet. A LITTLE BIT OF HELP

[Christopher Glick <MrChristopher1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd say tape it off, but be sure to pull the tape off before the POR drys as it will remain forever if left on.  I had my door and fender off the car so I can not say if it is a danger to the door workings or the heater blower.
