cold air comnig from passenger footwell

[malloryn]

At high speeds I get a cold air stream form the passenger foot-well. It's as if the inlet to the heater is not sealed. I've blocked the 'cold air' inlet on the drivers side and as far as I can tell there is not one on the passenger side.

Has anyone else had this and what was it?

After a quick inspection under the dash, it looks like the heater will be quite a job to access/remove.

Might be worth checking the door rubbers,
put dome vaseline on them close & open the door
check you have the door rubber outline left on
the bodywork contact area....dont use alot of vaseline.
Hope this helps......

I'm told N17 TVR has supply of vaseline based products if you need any

Hi Arch.... Still challenge you on "cold" even in the winter

You'll have to come for a spin in Feb then. I bet I can make you feel cold on the A12 .

Accepted. Be ahead of me in the convoy next month and wander down when you're parked up. I'll have plenty of cold air available on the drive .

Edited to ask: what do I win?

Watch it, or I'll stab you with my scissors!

The cold air could be either from the heater diverter flap not working properly inside the back heater box. This flap diverts the air up or down as required.

Or

The air is coming in as it should do but is bypassing the heater and back heater box and going straight into the footwell.

I have the same cold blast.
As I usually drive its not a problem. But my other half takes a blanket to keep warm whilst Im toast hot.
The draft is speed related.
Having got on my knees once this year Im going to take my time before doing it again for this little job.

I get cold air in both footwells if I have one of the windows down a little bit. This causes some sort of vacuum which in turn sucks alot of cold air (and a little water) in where the door rubbers are pinched. Close the window and it stops.

I get this as well - it comes in exactly where the rubber is nipped to let the water out - designed to go straight up the ol' truser leg
