Yeah both evap.. and possible jumpers.

yeah I'll prob replace the back plastic piece cause the plastic will be right under the light... but we'll see how it looks... but gotta start somewhere

Probably should have just went to a glass shop from the get go... but whatever ahah

Or you could just rip the entire carpet out, ect. The rip out the subfloor and completely redo it so its level. Its easier than it sounds.

Thanks for the offer but I think I found something that should work... but maybe I'll swing by some other time to check out the competition in person

Looks like the Rio Sorted out my heat issues 79-80ish. I should have went with it to begin with... especially b/c I knew the Sedra ran hot but I wanted to try it b/c it does have a little more flow.
