Subject:Hot air from the dash?
From:Tim Wise

My van seems to leak a lot of hot air out of the dash heater. It can
give you quite a hot foot if you're driving barefoot.

I'm thinking I need to check the heater for leaks. I tried to remove the
plastic face plate below the dash, behind the stick shift. The left side
slides off but the right is holding fast. Don't see any screw or latch.

Anybody know if the face plate should slide off easily? Do all vans leak
like this? Anybody ever install a bypass to keep the hot water from the
heater? I live in Texas and really don't need any extra heat ;)

Thanks.
