tools required:

-10mm socket with rachet/extension
-2 $1 packs of self-adhesive protecting Pad(Found at Dollar store)


I did this very little write up because I enjoy simple fixes and a warm 20+ year old car.

This intake piece sits right behind your glove box and is held in by 1 rounded screw and 2 10mm screws.

all you have to do is scrape the old stuff away and re-seal it as I have.(seen in the pictures)


Best of luck,Matt.

Nice Diy write up. I love seeing Diy things that are on the cheap side. Saving money=Awesome!

 

Bump. Nice work. Did you take a temperature reading before and after at the vent?

 

nice

 

No I should have,But it was a very Noticeable difference.

 

Nice Writeup.

I have been using foam weatherstripping for years with excellent results. They are available in many widths/thicknesses and densities/materials so you can always get exactly what you need.

Ya it's sorta of a preference thing;Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has done this.

 

Thought it was Funny My heater Motor Died a week after

 

i just did this two weeks ago but mine had a/c so i removed the evap core and sealed the box up i'd like to find one of those non a/c duct pieces though

 

Dunno how well that felt will seal, I use foam stripping, seals well. However, I also resealed the doors, and the bracket holders.

 

Wow Very nice/Extensive Job!

 

Thank you, everything was went through with a fine tooth comb, I rebuilt the motors on the boxes as well in prep for my crx climate control conversion.

 

Had our first snowfall this winter;glad i did this

 

Dam Clipsed why'd you have to show him up in his own DIY thread. jk

 

lol I'm happy as long as a few guys learn a new "trick" /cheap fix.

 

Not showing anyone up, everyone has their own way of doing things, and when I do things, I go all out.

 

lol yea I was just messing with ya. I would do this but I live in cali where we just get rain.

 

I live in Cali, no rain here...

 

I recently did this also. However, I'm driving my beater so I haven't really had to use the heater or ac?

 

you Cali guys are lucky; Here in BC(Right above Washington state) we get tons of Rain and some snow

 

I <3 Cali for the weather... that's about it...

 

The weathers awsome but we have impossible smog rules so were not that lucky.

 

true enough

 

That's what I used when I added a/c to my car this summer.
