Hi,

Looking at the manual for the way the defroster vents meet up with the defroster tubes, it shows a seal. I've never seen one of these in real life - my car sure didn't have them!

Has anyone got a picture or a source for these?

I imagine it will just be foam rubber Ian, just to seal between the outlet of the heater box to the vent

Only thing is, how much gap there is will determine how thick you need to make it

Yup, I assumed that it would be some sort of closed cell foam - probably the same as for the heater valve mount - but I'd love to see a picture of a real one, just to satisfy my originality-OCD
