This is so annoying!!! Not being able to get to the blend door to replace it is ridiculous!!! Here in Australia a new blend door from ford will cost $239. Then if I were to pay a mechanic to take out the dash it would cost a further $600....It's insane! Especially when the replacement is plastic, and sure to break again!!! Everything on this car fails it seems, all with an average cost of $800 to fix. Grrrr!!! I refuse to get it fixed through ford, I'm looking at heatertreater's solution....their replacement will cost me $175, and be substantially easier to fit (All currency in Australian dollars)
