  Foam seals at the sealing surfaces of the flaps.  Plastic flapper, plastic 
box.  Where the flapper meets the box there's a ridge but for a good seal 
and no "flomp" sounds, the ledge is covered in a self stick foam.  Re-did 
Dad's pu while I had it out.  Used some nice, dense foam I picked up at 
Boeing Surplus.  :-)
  Silly Jetta has a bleed hole in the flapper that dumps quite a bit of air 
to 
the defrost while in the floor position (A/C type controls).  Manual (non 
vac) 
controls don't have it.  Annoying for me because it dries my eyes something 
terrible.  I either keep it on the mid vent level or throw a jacket or the 
folded 
windshield sun blocker over them.  :-P  Don't wanna tear it all out just to 
put 
some duct tape over that hole (or replace the flapper with a non-vac 
flapper.)
