Heater Louver

[mountainman]

Can anyone tell me if there's any kind of gasket on the that goes between the heater and the louver on the front of the heater.I'm getting tons of heat from the heater,but cold air coming from the louver.IU'm about ready to put duct tape across it!!! Thanks for the help!!

well Mine is done with duct tape and it works great

just duct it!

the louver only blows outside air, heat only comes out the sides and bottom or the defrost. So it you set it to the louver.......its will blow ambiant temp outside air.

at least this is how both my 82 fj40's are.

Thanks guys!!!! The heater works great.It's just the draft that comes in the vent.I'm gonna put some duct tape over it until spring.

your right, unless the vent is set to the louver then there should be no cold air coming out.

there is a flap, not sure about a gasket inside

Thanks guys!!!! The heater works great.It's just the draft that comes in the vent.I'm gonna put some duct tape over it until spring.

The flap should be covered in an open cell foam. If you need pics let me know.
