Seeing how it is that time of year again...to assure the recirc flap spring is
functional, I ended up having to replace mine because of major fogging
problems, of course.  I thought I'd pass along a utility spring size that I
used from a hardware store--super easy to find and way cheaper than anything
else.

7/16" X 1-7/8" X 047 (which I think is the gauge of the spring wire) OR Size
C-83

This spring is working perfectly.  Thought I'd share this so those who need to
replace it can get it before rooting around in your footwell.  Cost $2 for two
of them (one for next year:)) and installed in about 15 minutes.  Also, I was
able to replace mine without removal of the glovebox, which was suggested by
others to remove.  I found it not necessary.
