trip report & question - hot air leak at back of heater

["David Cox" <dmcox@xxxx>]

I was getting tired of reading all the "I quiit" messages, so I thought I'd
share some good news. I started a new job on Monday, so in pre-celebration,
I took a long weekend and drove from San Diego, CA to Tucson, AZ. Total
trip mileage was just under 1200 miles and it worked out to 24.1 mpg
overall. Not bad when you consider that my average speed was about 75 mph -
I tried to keep my toes out of the turbo - and the a/c was blasting the
whole way. (It was 107 degrees in Yuma when I went through there!) The car
performed flawlessly, so it looks like I've finally gotten my engine
problems resolved. I didn't get any flux capacitor questions (one earlier
trip through Yuma, I was asked if the car used to be a Delorean...), but I
did talk to one guy who had a chance to buy a D from Consolidated for cheap
after the bankruptcy, but his wife wouldn't let him - he was a bit jealous
as he climbed into the mini-van and drove off.

Now for the question: I'm getting hot air in the footwell, even with the a/c
running. I found something in the tech section that sounds like the same
problem (Hot air leak at back of heater -
http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/heatairleak.htm) It says that some foam
dries out and allows outside air to force its way in - very noticeable when
the outside temp is 107! However, I guess I don't have long monkey arms,
because I couldn't find the area discussed. Is somebody familiar enough
with this problem to help me through it?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
