This is one of the 'Aerotrek Tips' and something easy to do to help with cockpit airflow. I still need to make one but haven't found a good match for my paint.
"Because our aircraft have folding wings, there are a number of "openings" in our cockpit and luggage compartment area that allows airflow in the cockpit. This is OK in warm conditions but not good when it is cold outside. To reduce this problem, one area where this airflow can be blocked is where the flaperon control arms go through the turtledeck (left and right sides). Shown on the left is a design that works well. It can be cut with scissors out of very thin milk jug (or similar very thin) plastic. Then, easy to slip in place and it will block the airflow in this area very effectively."
