Sheesh, you guys are doing it the hard way :-) ! Simply remove the upper grille and locate the ventilation air intake (covered with a black plastic mesh screen) and put duct tape over it! Works wonders :-) Sean Yep, Sean, I been dere done dat. I was looking for a "designed method" as VWAG didn't supply either the foam filler I used to back up the "riggers tape" (better than Duct Tape) or a roll of finely crafted Schwartzwalder Special Autobahn Certified non phospate duct tape. I shall continue to yank the grill in late November, stuff the intake with foam, cover over with "riggers tape" AKA "Gaffers Tape" and leave it until the poppies bloom. The foam filler adds a bit of support behind the tape so it doesn't cave in under the massive pressure differentials caused by right laning at 60MPH. -- -- ___ / __ __/ ____/ Al Knoll HP Performance Technology / / / / / Center Roseville, CA, USA 95747 / _____/ / / 916.785.9453 (Telnet 785-9453) / / / / email: alf@hpptc38.rose.hp.com / __/ __/ ______/ ___________________________________/
