I got new AC/Heat vent hoses for my truck and put them on. I tried it out and it works well. The one thing I had was leaks between the plastic pieces where it "divideds up the air". Should I just duct tape the cracks where the small leaks are?

Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.

Heck yeah, duct tape is meant for heating and AC vents . I love that stuff. Our mailbox got bashed, and the pole broke off. So instead of digging a big hole in the rocky ground for another wooden pole, i drove a metal T-post (the green and white kind) into the ground. I put a 4x4 piece of lumber on the bottom of the mailbox, and duct-taped it to the T-post. It has been out there, in the weather, for about 10 months now, and she's still holding my mail.

If its the case seams use black silicone or RTV it will blend far better. With the money your putting into your truck I know you don't want duct tape showing.
If its where a seal is where 2 cases join replace the seal. That twisting method works good for threading the hose over the retaining tabs eh Nick?
