My ventilation fresh air is hot as blazes, especially after engine/car is warm. Summer came to Texas last week. I think problem is the weather strip between black plastic cowling that mountsbetween hood and windshield, and the car body. Weather strip seems to be age hardened, cracked, partly missing. Weatherstrip is between cowl and car body firewall. The cabin filter mounts beneath cowl, and I think the hardened weather strip is supposed to keep engine radiator air flow that washes over engine from reaching cabin inlet filter.
Above the cowl another weather strip mounts, this one presumably seals cowl to hood. It's perfectly pliable, but perhaps an inch or two short on each end. I figure this one is to keep hot engine air away from input grate at top of cowl.
Has anyone had/fixed this same problem?
Can anyone say if I'm thinking right?
Thanks!
