middle vent air flow

Hi,

I have searched and found info regarding airflow problems with the footwell vents. Unfortunately, my problem is only with the two middle, upper vents in my 300D. In the summer, I was driving on a long trip, aqnd shanged the AC flow from the third button from the right to the fourth button from the right (going from all upper vent flow to bi-level flow, I believe). Anyway, after changing it back, only air has been coming out of the far right and far left dashboard level vents. Very little air comes out of the middle two. It was really quite random, how all of a sudden they dont want to work.
So, I am guessing that the problem lies either in the little connector tubes, a check valve perhaps, or a stuck air diversion flap. However, I am not sure how to get to the equipment that controls those flaps, nor do I know how to get to those two flaps.
I assume it requires removal of the glove box to get to those vents from the one side, but from the other???

Any help on this would be most appreciated. I need to put together a fastlane order anyhow, so if I could get reccomendations on what parts I would probably need, or that I should consider ordering, Id appreciate the information.
Thanks

JMH
