Hello all. New to the forum. Have a question, wondering if someone may be able to answer. Going over new to me stove, VC intrepid 2 1990, all seems pass the flashlight test. Except at the top in the front above the doors I can see light at the seam between the front face and the top. Is this seem suppose to be open or is cement missing there? Thank you for any help!
 
There shouldn't be any air leakage there. Double-check to be sure.
