Smitty says:  Having no experience with Lates in the kick panel area I don't know of the feasability of this.  I have sealed plenty of Earlies and have about made up my mind to try it the next time.  That is to use some of that expandable foam in a spray can that is used to caulk around house windows.With the earlies considerable time can be consumed getting the plastic duct assembly wiggled through the opening and most of those have become distorted from over tightning to squash what ever sealer is used.  Seems to me that putting the duct in place and then squirting foam around the edges with the applicator straw before snugging it up would provide a good seal.  The stuff expands like crazy for some time after being released.  How would this work with a Late?  The foam is not very tough and it seems to me it would not create a problem tearing it loose when removal is desired.
