Heater hot/cold control cable got bent! 1991 G60

Recommended Posts

So I decided to make a start on fixing the rotten foam seals in my heater yesterday. I managed to remove the duct from the fan to the heater so I could get to the hot cold flap. Also while it was apart I turned the motor upside down & oiled the bearing on it that squeaks (no squeak for now) & replaced the bulkhead seal. I used some off cuts of lino & double side carpet tape for the heater flaps. Initially my new home made seal was a bit tight so I took it out & trimmed it down. Now at some point while I was doing this the hot cold control cable got bent up at the dashboard leaver end, so I had to dismantle the middle of the dash to straiten this out. Got it working again. Seemed nice & smooth but when I went to try it this morning it was really stiff & the control cable bent up again!:bonk: Is it worth straitening this out again or should I just get a new one, if so from where? Could it be that the new seals are still to tight and need to be trimmed down again? Any advice would be appreciated as I would really like to get the heating working before Winter sets in. Thanx.
