Good luck and let me know how you get on . I am here if you need help

I think I found the post from Meir--fantastic indeed! Do these look right?

Step 1 - heater core removal/replacement:

Step 2 - dashboard cover removal:

Step 3 - replacing the evaporator and re- foaming the flaps:

And did you do all three steps or just #2?

I understand entirely the daunting prospect and the need to pluck up the courage, but I think I'm sufficiently psyched up to give it a go this weekend. Will let you know how it goes. I'm certain water is seeping though the heater box pass-through, but there might also be an accompanying source more toward the car's midline in the vicinity of the heater core. Am likely to attempt all of Meir's three steps for good measure. The car is throwing a "temperature flap" code, and I believe that is associated with missing flap insulation so I may as well do it all at once...

Any other advice/recommendations before I proceed? Thank you so much for the brilliant guidance so far!

Best, Scott
