Interior vent debris

No, i didn't take a picture of that. I do recall the small side of the mixer door (with single row of holes) was facing into the heater core space , but maybe it was placed incorrectly. My thought is its not pivoting. I guess I could take it all apart again to compare to the pic I had of the door before I took it out, but I am not relishing that at this point! I am going away for Thanksgiving and may decide to do that when I come back, or just take it to the dealer to fix and probably chuckle at another DIY gone bad

You have been very helpful and kind, Meir. Thanks!

The reason I asked, is becaus it looks liked you warped the flap on both sides.
Not only that, from the picture it looks like the new foam is wraped around the edge of the flap. I believe it create friction between the flap and the box, so the flap cannot move.
I whould give it another chance (after thanksgiving :chicken.
Try to reform the flap again. I will post a pic of the foam I used.
You can get it at Home Depot.

Oh, I thought the DIY indicated to wrap the foam around the edges to create a "seal" effect (i.e. to prevent air going around the sides). But what you say makes sense to me. I suspect the door is stuck, or not properly seated.

I sent the car of to my indie today, along with my pics and the DIY document. I hope they can sort it out. I'll let you know.

Again, thanks for your input, Meir. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

happy thanksgiving to you and all forum members.
just in case, here is a pic of the foam i used:




looking at my pics i noticed i re foamed the flaps on both sides as well, but i trimmed the foam at the edges.
