Ok so Ive been cleaning up the car over the last few weeks and have been finding all the bits and pieces which are broken or needed replacing. Yesterday I found something I hadnt even noticed due to a buildup of leaves and dirt At the bottom of the windshield there is a recessed area with a plastic grill over it. Inside are the mechanics for the windshield wipers and Im assuming air passage for the HVAC inside the car. The car sat under a tree for many years so this entire area was filled with dirt and leaves and debris. On the passenger side I found a metal flap door connected to what looks like a small actuator and spring. Im thining its maybe part of the defroster ? Anyway its totaly rotted out from being under wet dirt/leaves for so long. My question, what is it and where can i get a replacement ? Thanks guys!

 

I don't think they repop that. It is for the ac though. When you turn on the ac the door shuts.

 

Ah good to know, so since i dont have AC ill just pull it thanks!

 

it has a vacuum line running to it. You will need to plug that vacuum line or you will have a vacuum leak.

 

the line running to it looks almost like an electrical line ? is it not ?

 

it should be a flexable plastic vacuum line
