Replaced Fresh Air Duct GasketI2005/01/30 Related Vortex forum
Recently, I found rain water leakage at the passenger sides floor when
washing a car. The cause seems to be the fresh air duct cover gasket.
|
 |
Open the Hood and remove the rubber seal laying onthe top edge of the firewall.
Pull out the plastic rain tray.
The fresh air duct locate on the passenger side. |
 |
Remove the fresh air duct cover(leaf screen) by sliding out the retaining
clip. |
 |
Then lifting up and sliding out the cover. |
 |
The cover has a gasket on the back side.
|
 |
I bought rubber sponge from the DIY shop. 5 x 200 x 200mm
Only 1.5 dollars
|
 |
This rubber sponge has a double face tape on the back side. |
 |
Peel off the old gasket from the cover by your finger.
That gaskets parts# is #191 819 166 If I buy that gasket from
the dealership in Japan, I must pay $10(probably more) for that gasket.

Put the old gasket on the rubber sponge.
Cut it with the scissors along the outline.
|
 |
Cut it with the razor brade along the inside line.

Peel off the back sheet from the rubber sponge.
|
 |
Just paste it to the cover.

 |
It is rather thin than the original gasket.
