Was giving my daughter a lift on xmas day and she complaiend the air con weasnt working. It worked fine on my side of the car, so I checked and sure enough her side was blowing hot air.
I've since pulled the top vents and checked the operation of the flaps.
The directional flaps are both fine.
The blue lower flap (passenger side heater/air-con) has a broken shaft.
I've ordered a repair kit from China and am wondering if anyone here has cut open the heater box and replaced a flap.
If so, I'd appreciate any tips.
There's a few youtube videos, but they all seem to be the drivers side. I'm mostly interested in exactly where to cut and if there is anything inside I need to be careful of when cutting the plastic casing. Also what is the best glue to use (looks like the heater box is polypropylene)?
I may try plastic welding and add some extra glue strengthening, depending on what access is like.
