Dustproofing

Hi mungo did the trip go well.
I tape up the air vents at the rear externally and run the air con.
This helps.
All the best

Pretty easy really..........dont go on dirt roads.

I dont have a problem with dust.........it gets on stuff.........if u dont want it there then u wipe it off.........

If u go in the rain, u get wet.

If u swim in the ocean, u get eaten.

if u drive on dirt, u get dust.

I always thought that you need to switch off the internal air cicrulation to create cabin pressure so to speak. Put the air con on (or fan if u don't need a/c), set to fresh air from outside and it will work a lot better. The faster the fan setting the better. May be the problem, but most if not all cars get dust inside to some degree. Not too good thoughj if you are following a car too close - just blows dust in as well!

Oh No! I think i'm Gay...
when I get dust in my car I wind the windows up and try to presurise the cabin and if its hot I put the aircon on... and heaven forbid if my fridge turns off cause the solar panel failed to recharge the battery and I cant drink my beer.
I think i'll just have to head up to the kimberley with a few of the boys for dust sniffing practice. I guess tailgating a few roadtrains with my windows down should do the trick and to hell with the fridge, Ill just grab a hotty from under the seat where the real men keep them.
Thanks for the entertainment you big tough guys..LOL

if not following anyone, fresh air open, fan on 1 or 2 should do the trick nicely, yes taping up the rear vents will help pressurise it heaps, although it restricts the 'natural' flow through of the air. when on recirc, there will still be a bit of leakage into the vehicle past the shutoff box, but the fan is really only used to give some air movement especially if hot.

not just your vehicle mate, all of them do it, just some worse than others. eg - some jacks had a small section of panel sealer mising in the l/h rear behind the wheel arch, which lets in heaps of dust past the panels. so remember its not just the door seals which can leak dust. But keep it presurised ind its sweet.

Dang, guess i'm not real tough, but i do like eating dust free meals, as does the missus..
And all those rally drivers must be real soft and loving, fitting those pressurisation vents to their cars :)))
