You won't see a flap, it's all internal.

IIRC there's a phillips screw holding tension on the outer sheath of the blue cable. Just adjust that so it has just a touch of tension when the adjustment knob is on cold.

I barely moved mine but it made a real big difference, enough not to need the AC when it was 75 degrees out.

Can't wait to tackle this one. If this solves the issue, big props to you. Thanks. There must be just enough residual tension on that cable to keep the system from reaching the full cold position, letting a little air past the heater core. This would reduce the A/C efficiency in the summer, too. 3 or 4 degrees of cooling difference is actually substantial.

No question this issue is also raising A/C temp coming out of the vents.

Can anyone post a picture of the cable and how exacty to access it.

All right, forget the picture, can somebody at least indicate if the cable is accessed from the upper or lower glove compartment?
