bkahler Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 I'm getting ready to install the seal for my cab vent. Anyone have any tips on how to make sure I do it right the first time? Thanks! Brad Quote
Guest philedmonds Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 Funny you should ask. I did it the hard way and then re-did as follows: First, you need to remove the moveable vent door. There are 4 small machine screws accessible from under the dash. Then the cover lifts right out. The hardest part was removing all the old gasket and hardened glue. Once that is out I used a thin layer of adhesive on the seal and on the groove it fits in. I needed to use 2" masking tape to hold the gasket in place as I placed it. Mine needed to stretch and kept popping out. I taped it as I went and left the ends for last. After a few hours I removed the tape and it was good to go. I then reinstalled the cover. I hope this helps. If it does it will be very rewarding for me since I have been "taking" a lot of info from this site and will be happy to give a little! Quote
bkahler Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Posted April 21, 2007 Phil, Good timing! I just got back from picking up the adhesive. With lucky I can put glue the seal down tonight. I'll let you know how your instructions worked out. Thanks! Brad Quote
MBF Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 When I did mine-I removed the vent cover, cleaned out the groove really well-put cement in the groove and on the seal, and then used clothespins spaces about an inch apart to hold the seal in place while the adhesive dried. Good luck. Quote
Dennis_MN Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I just noticed that I'm missing this gasket. What was the best source for this gasket? Dennis Quote

Dennis Dennis, I got mine from ebay seller FMMPAR. I just checked and he didn't currently have any listed, however he does rather frequently list them available. I'm happy with the quality but haven't as yet installed mine. I had planned to install mine this past weekend but my wife had different ideas, she wanted a fence put up instead! Brad Quote
Guest philedmonds Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I got mine from Andy Bernbaum. I think it cost about $15. Quote
