Anyone familiar with this center vent - I'm referring to the cold air flap, not the exterior vents - could you tell me the best way to access it? I'm pretty sure the arm has either come undone or is broken. Also, this came with factory (not retrofitted in the US) A/C.
I have an Alfetta parts book, but it shows a later type of heater and the arm appears to go on the outside of the heater box. After removing the outer dash portion for the two levers (not four), the arm, which appears to be plastic, disappears in a hole behind the lever.
I assume I have to first remove the lower (on the center hump) plastic tray/ashtray/radio, so the housing above it can be dropped down so as gain access to the flap. Correct?
I really don't want to end up having to remove the entire dash, heater, etc. to be able to access it - if for no other reason than this is my daily driver.
I'll be happy to send a photo of the outer dash portion if someone needs to clairfy which one mine is.
