Slightly better pic of the flap taken with the camera lower down in the engine bay.
I'm going to try putting a new foam sheet on the flap but ideally that means getting the old backing sheet off first - it's pretty well stuck on so it'll take some shifting.
Does anyone know what sort of mechanism operates the flap??? I don't want to bust the hinge or the mechanism (if there is one). I don't want to take the heater out either!
NB. The hinge must be part of the heater assembly, where the 21 pointer is in this diagram.
