Doghouse gasket seal

Didn't know which forum to use, so I dropped it in here.

Where can I get a doghouse gasket seal?
I can feel the fan blowing cold air into the bus when it's running and there's quite a bit of seal torn away.

Thanks for the link!

Digging around their page reminded me I needed to get my Air Windshield Wipers working again

And they've got my door hinge seals!

I used butyl caulking. Originally it had butyl caulk or tape.

Won't work for mine, it's a rubber neoprene gasket that compresses down when I buckle the straps.

Similar to this

That is a fairly common weather stripping. Have you checked your local auto parts store?

I'm having trouble visualizing where the doghouse gasket is. Can anyone clarify?

It's where the doghouse seals against the floor... On mine, there's a galvanized steel channel in the floor, you set the doghouse in the channel and clamp it down with those rubber hood clamp looking things

Look at Mcmaster Carr that is where I ordered mine from. Also get the 3M black gasket adhesive if you intend on cutting and glueing corners.

in that application, yes of sorts.

In my application, my doghouse is a large black box that protrudes into the cab. You can see one identical to mine between the door and driver's seat.

this bus is the sister to mine

Aaah. I was envisioning a conventional style bus, not a flat nose. Guess the doghouse isn't an issue if you have a dog nose.
