Well its been quite a long time since I took this thing apart and while I can figure out how it goes back Im hopefull someone will have BTDT and have some advice on the correct procedure.
Im talking about putting all the Heating venilation, defrost controls and such back on the car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Anyone? for exanple when do you attach the controlling cables to the flappers / fan box, before or after thier installation ?

Took me nearly 2 hours to get one bolt in and then the nut fell into the box on the other...had to start over. An hour and a half later ,nothing.
Why is this thing so difficult to install? Any tricks?? |

Why is this thing so difficult to install? Any tricks?? Not sure this has been mentioned.... I found it necessary to loosen all of the wiper drive arm holding hardware so that the wiper arms could "float" in the wiper drive post holes. This little bit of movement of the wiper assembly really helped getting the blower box in. |
