[Roadsters] Heater seals

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Dana,

1.  I have used 1/4-inch thick/1/2-inch wide, adhesive-backed foam household 
window weatherstrip, trimmed as necessary to fit to replace the degraded 
original material.  The only purpose of this material is to prevent hot air 
from bypassing the defroster vents when the latter are in use.  Bypass 
leakage to the passenger compartment will not be a problem if the heater 
control valve is closed.

2.  It is felt or felt-like cloth.  Doesn't really matter.  It just prevents 
airflow from bypassing the heater core.
