RE: Dash vents

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

First check to see that the end vents are actually opening when you turn the
little wheels.  Mine had the linkages missing and were, therefore,
permanentely closed.  Maybe the heater/def ducting in the dash has
disconnected from those vents?
Rear window (right?) defrost switch:  they are still available, from the
dealer anyway, but mine cost $45!!  It did get the rear to defrosting,
however.....

Subject: Dash vents


 The dash on my '86 8v has 4 large vents (2 in center together, one 
one each side of dash) and 2 smaller ones (under the big side 
ones). With any kind of fan speed or setting (floor, defrost or full 
vent or anything in between) only the center vents blow anything. 
Its not really a problem, but it has been bugging me a little, and 
winter is creeping up. Anyone else have this problem and know 
what causes it? I don't really want to take my dash apart.  :/

Also my defrost switch doesn't work ( It seems to be stuck in the 
on position but the light isn't on and the rear window doesn't 
defrost). Do they still make these switches so I can install a new 
one, or is my defroster completely busted?

And is it still possible to get new tracks for the sunroof? currently 
the only thing holding it up is the Haynes manual (Best use for it 
yet! :D  ) 

Just thought I'd combine all these into one post.
