Jack, You miss the point. I know it is not suppose to be there for the camper for the reason the duct in the door goes no where because of the camper cabinetry. Despite the design intention it create a problem where cold air escape from the duct between the door and the jam because of the missing gasket the connects the two when the door is closed. Remedy to this problem: 1) Find a gasket from a non camper or a junked camper. RHS or LHS does are interchangeable. 2) Cut the gasket at one point so you don't have to remove the electrical harness. Put the gasket around the harness. Use rubber cement to re-glue the cut. Fit the gasket onto he jam. 3) Remove the duct tape like tape behind the door vent on the driver side to vent the pressurize air behind the driver seat I have meant to do this mod for 10 years but just haven't bother to find the spare gasket. - Vince -----Original Message----- From: Joel Walker [mailto:jwalker17@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 11:19 AM To: MC Subject: Re: Re: clearance : many assorted Vanagon parts
