Drafty cabin M7-235

Tried this over at Maule forum, but seems kind of quite, so thought I'd try it here.

Greetings from a new Mauler-
Just got a 2001 M7-235C and have ton's of questions, but here's my first. I picked the plane up about 500 miles from home base, and on the return flight it seemed that there was quite a draft coming into the cabin, so managed to crawl into the back seat(instructor was flying from right seat...) and noticed a good draft coming from the rear fuselage around the rear bulkhead(seat back of 5th seat). At 8500', it was pretty cold and drafty in the cabin. I have tried using Velcro strips along the edges of the rear seat back, but the seal at the top is not great due to only having headliner to attach to. Any suggestons?
Thanks

All's going great with the new plane, need 7 more hours of dual to meet insurance requirement, but so far plane seems to like me. Tried posting some pics, but so far I think I've only got one posted to my gallery.

BD actually designed them to exchange the cabin air freely as a guard against CO. A real safety hound that BD :roll:
