Hi Jim,

My heater is still active - haven't shut off the valve yet and I'm aware that some heat flows out the vents even when the heater isnt running. The heat I'm talking about is coming out of the gap between the body and the footbox just above the upper door hinge. With the door open, I can shine a flashlight in the area just above the upper door hinge and see that there is foam in there sealing the space between the body and footbox roughly adjacent to the firewall. It appears to be well sealed off so you may be right about the pedal entry point. It looks like I can get some foam in that opening and block it from coming into the cockpit. I'll give that a try.
