Is there a source for the seal/gasket that is attached to the small duct portion that removes for access to the blend door? I am currently losing air due to the seal not being good enough.

seen some use of the thin tin tape for that ducting
if you had that off then you know if the blender door control is ok?not broke like my #2

HTX86chevy: Keep in mind....this was last night when it was maybe 80°F outside. However, after taking it out today....it was ice cold when moving . Forgot the thermo so I don't know the exact temp, but it was nice and cold when moving. My problem now is I need to buy/make a cover for the top of my rad, and space the fan farther into the shroud so it works better at idle during the day when it's 100°+ out. Gotta get that air flow across the condenser, and having a 4 row rad doesn't help.

Motornut: My blend door's clip is broken too. But as of right now the local dealer is out(should have em on wednesday), and it only is sending a very small amount of air to the floor, and as a result keeps my feet cooler, so for now it's ok with me that it's broken. Also, dealer no longer stocks the seal I asked about, so I'm gonna have to figure out my own way of doing it.

Problem with that is that the foam is all too thick. It needs to be like 1/8" wide and 1/4" deep by like 16" long. I haven't had any luck finding anything. I picked up some cork tape, and once I get the blend door clip, I am either gonna use the tape, or maybe stretch the windshield seal stuff I have to make it thin enough.

Camper shell tape - cut it to appropriate/desired width. Pipe insulation on a roll - often sticky on one side and metallic on the other side, foam style.
