Type 44 Fresh air flap repair experiences?

[Peter Schulz <schulz@tif623.ed.ray.com>]

Folks:

Perused the archives late last night to find out how to repair the
fresh air flap under behind/the glovebox.

The wagon definitely shows signs of a malfunctioning flap
(windows fog up quickly for no apparent reason, I hear a pressurized
air sound (possibly the hose cam off the vacuum actuator)).

Does anyone have either pictures of the flap and how to access
it, or detaile dinstructions?  My archive search, using "air flap"
turned up alot of references, but no real instructions.  I also
looked at Scott Mockry's site, which also ahowed a drawing of
the flap, but no detailed instructions.

(By detail, I mean the type of detail that is generally used
when describing how to replace the timing belt, bomb, etc.)

Do I have to remove the glovebox? I took a look around the passenger
footwell, and could not see any obvious access point.

And yes, I will write up an FAQ on this when I finish the repair.

TIA!
