I ended up returning the rectangular seal and using 3/8" wide black
adhesive insulation strips available in rolls at any hardware store.
Maybe # 282-750 fits the MGA? Who knows.
I also threw out the rubber seal with two holes in it for the defrost
tubes. I'm not a magician. I may use a small bit of expanding
insulating foam ( Great Stuff ) on the outside of the tubes when I
insert them into the bottom of the heater box.
Have fun! It's a real challenge.
