If you really want to stop all that heat, get some dynomat (I believe that
is what it is called) and cover both sides of the tunnel. Works great. My
footwell is almost cool when driving.

> Hi, Listers,
> May I have a little advice please? I am about to remove the tranny
tunnel on my BJ8 and would like to put in new seals to reduce the cockpit
heat. On the highway, there is a blast of hot air coming out of the Tranny
dipstick cover in the carpet, so I know I've got a big leak somewhere. The
seal covering the dipstick is in place and tight. The tunnel seals include
two long pieces, "U" shaped, with small ribs on the base of the "U". How do
these install in the car? Ribs up against the tunnel or floor? Over the
flange on the tunnel or what? Are these glued in place or does the tunnel
to floor screws lock it in? The forward edge seal and the rear seal look
"straight forward", but are there any other tricks I should consider? Are
there any supplementary sealers used? Thanks in advance,
