We still had cold air flowing in from behind the closet. This was directly on DWs head. During the day I could see light between the upper rear shell and the lower shell. I stuffed a towel behind the closet and that solved the problem.

To test for air leaks you might try peeking up from the ground at night while all of the interior lights are on to see if you can see light through any gaps. I have not tried this, but I think it will be an easy way to find some of the gaps.

In warmer weather it doesn't matter much, but a cold draft this time of year is very annoying.
Wayne,

Is your swim noodle fit into the bed channels just firm enough to hold them in place? If the noodle(s) fit is too tight, you may be bowing the upper shell wall outward thus creating the air gap behind the wardrobe.

FWIW
