Here's a easy inexpensive way to fix your Heater Box Collar. I found that most Venders want close to $40 dollars for this collar. I refuse to pay that kind of money for something I can make myself cheap.
Material List:
* 6" drawband $3.00
* Door weather stripping or foam tape
First, remove cowl collar. The collar has 2 small clips holding it in place.
Next, remove clips from collar
I then cleaned, removed staples,and painted collar.
Next, I put 3m weather stripping on the top surface of the collar that will contact the cowl. I also used the 3m on the Drawband along the edges to seal on heater box & Cowl
now to re-install collar. Make sure you pinched the clips before you put them back on the collar so they hold tight.
Line the clips up with the clip notches, and push into place.
Finally, measure the distance between the cowl and heater box and trim your drawband if necessary. Then feed the drawband around the lips between cowl and heater box, then tighten. I opted to cover draw band with foam tape, but not necessary.
