Howdy, I was wondering if you guys experience an increase of airflow, especially hot air, into the cabin when closing the cowl flaps. It seems like a very noticeable increase in temperature when I level off to cruise and close the cowl flaps. I also had my door open in flight one time(long embarrassing story lol) and the plastic panel on my left bowed out a good four inches from the airflow coming in somewhere back behind it. Obviously air is attracted to lower pressure and comes in if there are leaks. Has anyone come up with a good solution to tightening up the cabin? I'm thinking some type of sealant, aluminum tape, etc. but don't know the best route to take for a long term solution. Btw my cowl flaps are adjusted to only close to about 1/2" or so when closed. Thanks in advance for your responses. Scott
