<DIV></DIV>>I used wide foam tape to replace the rubber. I got it at an RV shop. It
<DIV></DIV>>is used to seal roof A/C units on RVs. It comes in White or White.

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

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