Hi Jack,
Where did you get all your supplies to do the job?
And did you just go by what the work shop manual said?

What did you use the Ribbon Sealer for?Originally Posted by Jack
Any suggestions or advice for the job? I was planning on just following the work shop manual. How long was the job?

Ribbon sealer is AKA 3M strip caulk. http://www.amazon.com/3M-08578-Black.../dp/B000PEZ1L4
You can get it an any auto parts store and some big box Home improvement stores. WHen you get the Housing assembly removed from the car you will see where the factory used this product to seal gaps in mating pieces.
Follow the manual and by all means do not be tempted to separate the Evap/Blower housing (right halve) while it is the car. You will likely damaged something you can't see internally.
Take your time and methodically go through process steps. While you have the housing removed, you may want to fashion a better sealing method for the heater core pipes where the protrude from the housing. This is common source of unintended heat in the summer If you use any modes other than MAX A/C (water valve closed)

Not to resurrect this but how did you get the flaps out of the heater box? I see where there is a rod that holds them on but I don't want to push to hard and break anything.

You can use a punch and tap the rod out with a hammer, use "gentle" force to avoid damaging anything.
