The dealer is no help.  The recall period is over and the repair kit is
almost NLA9only about 20 bucks but IIRC iI had a problem trying to get
one).  I will probably wait till I redo the headliner and then cut it at the
back and let it blow.  Other list members have made this mod and performance
is said to be more thaan acceptable.  Plus you have a spot for garage
remote, cigs, or doobies(remember @dam's posts?) where the current a/c vents
are above your head.  Lookin fwd to others' comments.
