Has anyone tried one of these to repair their broken blend door ?

It might be worth a try.
I wished I had never taken this out...

But it is neat offering to take someone to lunch and this is what they see

 

I take it you're doing the dreaded blend door repair......Sorry I didn't get that link to you sooner.

 

What exactly is it that fails on this blend door? Is there some kind of material failure over time? What part fails and why does it fail? What should we be looking for in prep for the failure, assuming that it does eventually fail?

 

Material breaks where the shaft from the actuator goes into the blend door. It must get old and brittle. On the ones I have done pieces of plastic fall out when the actuator is removed.

 

Oh, thanks. Sounds like poor material. I guess I can see then where that replacement the guy has with a metal shaft could probably outlast the truck. I guess I'll get one in case mine breaks. Thanks.
