#1. That reminds me of a Ford Exploder I once owned. The flap/door in the plenum would swing freely and you lost your temp control. Official fix was to pay 2 or 3 grand to disassemble your whole dashboard. My redneck fix was to cut the bottom out of the plenum, rig the door to a coat hanger wire and wooden knob, then JBWeldvthe bottom back on the plenum. Worked pretty good and didn’t cost more than an hour or so of my time.

What is #4?
ReplyDeleteLooks like adhesive-backed Velcro to retain a loose power cord.
DeleteLaptop powercord with a piece of velcro glued to a washer to hold it in place on the laptop. Sometimes those ports get loose with usage.
