Just did a search for VR Straps and found that they are again available. I had a pair on my 2003 & 2006 pickups and thought they were a great product but they did not fit the new body style. Had thought the VR Tailgate Straps were unavailable until finding them now. The price is a little steep at $65 plus $2.50 postage but to me it is well worth it. I did have one of the tailgate cables fail on my 2003 truck while loading the ATV. See them at www.merchant-automotive.com

They are available for the 99-07 'Classic' Trucks as well as the 2007-2009 'New Body Style' Silverados.

  And there aren't any "bellows". There are solid plastic doors the actuators move, which largely seal just by themselves, and then have a strip of foam around the edge to better seal the door. The foam does deteriorate over time, but this is unlikely to be a significant cause of the problem.

  are the heater controls set for hot or cold air? If it's set for hot, and say, to get air from outside the cab (vs recirculated air), even w the fan off, air will get pushed through the hvac system, over the heater core and into the cab. Switching it to cold will reduce the temp to whatever it is outside. Switching to recirculate mode (which may mean switching to vents or whatever, read your owners manual), will reduce the amount of airflow through the hvac system.
