So I was walking around Lowe's after my wife's break from work today and inspiration hit me! I saw a Replacement Gasket Kit for stoves, fireplaces and furnaces. The package actually says "prevents air leaks, Improves efficiency" in bold letters. It contains a braided rope and gasket cement. The sizes I saw were 3/8" and 5/8". I went and measured my Ranger: top gap is 1", side gaps are 1 1/2" and the underside is 2".

Provided I can find the appropriate braided ropes, does anybody see a problem with this aero-mod?
