yeah you can't get at it through the vent hole unfortunately. I had to remove the glovebox to get at the rubber boot that links the vent door assembly to the two center vent outlets. Once the right side of the rubber boot is out of the way(just pull it off the right-side center vent assembly) then you can access the small lever that's attached to the left side or driver side of the vent door.

I've got skinny hands so was able to just push down on said lever (which is attached to the vent door and disappears downwards) while the AC was on and it moved for me at that point. I don't believe the door will move at all without the AC going...perhaps with the heater as well. I've really pushed on that vent door in the past with AC off and no movement.

It was nice driving to work this morning and feel heat coming out of the center vent outlets I gotta tell ya! No more right hand getting cold while the rest of me is warmed by the car's heater.
