Subject:      Question about that damn disintegrating A/C evaporator blanket
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

What is the function on the disintegrated A/C evaporator's foam blanket?  It
must serve some purpose, and it definitely hasn't done its job in many
years.  Should it be replaced to with something more durable to fulfill its
original purpose or am I just being too anal about my beloved Syncro Westy
again?
