My wiper assembly is not parking properly (as discussed in this post) so I need to perform the dreaded task of pulling the fresh air box to get to the wiper assembly. I've watched Ian's video which is super helpful.
I'd like to rebuild the air box while I have it out. I bought the 914 Rubber kit to replace all of the seals and grill. I'd like to replace the fan motor too while I'm in there. My question: is this the right part (or best part) for a 914 fresh air box? https://sierramadrecollection.com/products/...ly-69-89-p18608 |

FYI, You won't be able to use Ian's clamp unless you pull the hood. I just did this and wished I had done a video on it. The 914rubber gasket between the halves is pretty thick so I recommend you assemble, wait a few days then retighten to compress that seal even more. You will need every 1/10mm you can get. More importantly; use a thin bead of black silicone to adhere the new grille/gasket combo. It's much more solid & you won't need to futz with the runner bands to hold in place.
