what part is this? i know it has something to do with the fresh air box controls, but it looks broken. what should that pivot point look like, is there a screw missing or something?

A piece of plastic is broken off. (I'm at work and have no pics) I am almost certain I have some of those flappers in boxes if you want a new used one. Let me know.


They really aren't that hard to get out and back in once you know how to do it. The hardest part to remove/install will be those round spring clips holding the flapper box to the defrost vent and to the blower housing (I think).

The cables are held on with those spring clips which can be a PITA, but they aren't really that hard either.

On the inside, there will be (2) 6mm nuts (10mm wrench) on the lower vent to remove, and of course you need to remove the cable ends from the flapper box with the pinch bolts.

Make sure the other flapper box moves freely or the same thing will happen to one you install. Those flappers should be EASY to move, if not, find out what is bound up and fix it.

Perhaps you bumped it when installing the gas tank?

Good luck.
