Ya wanna hear another, "most reprehensible" workaround? The first time I wanted to use the heater on my '69 B. I couldn't get any airflow thru the heater. So after cleaning all the debris out of the

That ain't being lazy in my book. I have the same problem, tab broke off the door, and there is no way that I'm taking the heater box out to fix it. Refitting a heater box has to be in the top five w

The only hard part about that is getting the transmission mounts back in IMHO! Wind shield is currently a bear on my car, though I have a few parts to try now that might make it easier.... -- Andrew

Sounds familiar as well. I had to take the whole unit out of the car for the respray. I used a hacksaw to get the unit loose from the firewall. The round foam stuff had acted due to the Calif. sun as

According to the manual, the trick is to attach the cable to the door first, then feed it down into the dash as you install the heater box back into the car. After the heater box is reinstalled you h

I think the trick is also keeping tension on the cable as the box is reinstalled. I missed this step and now I have to pull the heater again to free the cable. I think I just might wear a heavier coa

In fact, that's all I can think of for really PITA jobs on my Mk. I, and I once had the engine and transmission out 3 times in 5 weeks. On a Mk.II, anything behind the dashboard probably qualifies a

I don't think of replacing windshield as being any more difficult than working with the heater, but the factor making windshield so unpleasant is the sweat-producing fear of hearing the CRAAAAAK. Bob
