Now you mention it, I was going to try a bit of that synthetic steel wool to
keep the bugs out and let air in next summer.

So from the sounds of it, we are assuming my cold air is from leakage around
the vents back in there someplace.

I will try stuffing the inlets tonight. Thanks.


You might have air leaking thru the wing/fuselage joing also. Perhaps
some insulation material around the upper corners of the windshield,
at/near the wing leading edge. You'll have to remove the trim pieces to
get to it, or perhaps the fairing over the wingroot.
