HI all. Are the foam seals that sit around the flap of the directional dash outlet air vents (X4) available to buy? Noticed a you tube video of someone repairing some and i know mine have deteriorated. If not has anyone repaired theirs' and what size foam(thickness) did you use. Thanks Steve
I have just repaired mine. I used sound deadening closed cell foam. 2mm or 3 mm works fine. You can always trim with a stanley blade/scissors if it sticks. the advantage of the sound deadning foam is that it is self adhesive so fits well
I think, Matt, that you're talking about the flaps inside the box, and Steve is talking about the small seals at the edges of flaps at the dash vents?
Hi. I did the little seals around those dash flaps. Made a cardboard template and then cut out the same shape in sound deadening. Works well and should last longer than open cell foam which gets brittle easily.
HI. Yep those are the ones. All 4 of mine need doing. Any pointers in what material and size i will need to order. The guy on you tube used foam and stretch fitted it to the flaps made it look a very easy job to do. Can this be done with sound deadening you used? Thanks This link
I bought a sheet of black felt from The Range for £1. I stuck it on with contact adhesive and trimmed with scissors. I stuck to one side of the flap on the top and the other side on the bottom so that the felt compressed when closed.
