Do-It-Yourself Story

Replaced the whole unit because I was told that the spring or flap/spring portion could no longer be ordered separately. After I had ordered the whole unit, I did find the spring alone available on another site but thought I might as well replace the unit since I was going to have to take it apart anyway. The hardest part was removing the cover without breaking any of the clip portions. The instructions I saw here said that after removing the one screw on the bottom that there were 2 "slots" to press and pull on. There are no slots, it's just the whole gray bottom panel that you pull toward you and up as it comes out. Not having done this before and being afraid of breaking it since it doesn't seem like you are doing the right thing using that much force I took a taped end chisel and carefully wedged it in between the front panel and door and popped out one of the holding clips. The just worked around and got them all to release. Replacing the unit is a no-brainer since there are just 2 screws holding it in place and you can only connect the wire harnesses one way.
