Do you get excess heat/smell in the cab with yours when you have the cab air blowing?) Inquiring minds want to know. Bob
The rubber Gasket has nothing to deal with cabin air. I've been driving her for about a month with cold fresh air and a cool engine bay. With the daily temp over 90, it's nice to see the heat mirage / waves while I drive!
