Default (cold) Air Drafts from vents

I know my hood isn't perfectly sealed. But I still get air through the
vents even if I have a blanket and/or a car cover stuffed in the trunk. The
ducts from the blower are connected.
Am I missing something?

tia,

Default (cold) Air Drafts from vents

If its cold air coming in it cant be via heat exchanges. I cant think of any
other place cold air at pressure could get in except via bonnet seals. If
your bonnet is adjusted right and it still leaks maybe the seals are
"flattened" and are leaving a gap. The sheet metal cover in tyre well is on?
Sorry, not much help
Cheers
John
