Recirculation Flap Return Spring

[Kneale Brownson]

The far end of the spring attaches to a plastic bar that spans the space 
between the braces for the vacuum solenoid (or whatever it's called) that 
operates the doors.  Usually, the spring has worn through the plastic.  My 
200q20v had that problem when I acquired it, so I did the same "fix" I used 
on my 5ktq, which is to make a U-shaped piece of tin the same width as the 
broken bar and poke a hole in it for the spring end.  Works best if you put 
in the metal piece with the spring hooked to it and then pull on the spring 
to hook it into the plastic piece  on the door.
