Camaro Temperature blend door replacement w/out dash removal.

There are various ways to cut the plastic. The hot knife I used gave me a fairly narrow and clean cut. After the repair was completed I did perform a relearn of the blend door. It requires a professional scanner to do that (mine is a D8 by Xtool (about $700) but I only did the relearn because I do not know what broke the original door. It worked normally just before I did the relearn but just in case the range of motion of travel distance was off I did it. This job took me about 5 hours on a hot day taking additional time to shoot video. The hardest part was cutting through just enough plastic next to the upper two screw holes to allow removal and not go too deep. Remember that when you insert a screwdriver into the cut edges use care because the heater core is like less than one half inch on the other side. The chevy dealer locally stocks the door because it is a chronic condition. I am just one mechanic with a mobile auto repair business and this is the 2nd one I have done in less than 3 months and the 3rd one I have verified as broken. (one person actually traded their car in after I told them what it needed but that was before I did the very first door replacement. The items I bought..

The work light you see me using in this video has been upgraded and the price lowered. It is now powered by a Milwaukee M12 slide in battery which many pros already have. The new version is seen here : https://www.goosegrip.com/product-pag...
