Nope....just the passenger side...don't ask me why....that was a question I had when I started to fix the heat problem, but once the pass vent was closed, it was a pleasure to drive again...man it was hot last summer in that car...I have a link from Al Sidoni that started my repair, if I can find it, I'll post it for ya...

Great, thanks. Another thing that helped me a lot with my hot floors was the removal of my rear window. It pulls the heat up and away. I love not having that back glass.

I couldn't find the article, but here's where the seals go away (in yellow) and where it needs to be sealed if you opt to fix the problem as opposed to my fix...

Great pic. Thanks so much. I'd guess all that will be the same on my '77. I'll get that checked out soon.

I know the owner, Anthony, and he'll personally work with anyone to figure out how much they need, and how to order. I may even be able to get discounts.
