Adjusting center A/C vent for w124

Is the center A/C vent on a W124 adustable mechanically?

When I turn the wheel, the flap visible through the grille opening does not seem to open as far as it used to do.

Using a flashlight I noticed that there is a plastic arm going from the wheel to the flap. The arm moves when I turn the wheel and it in turns opens and closes the flap. To the side of the arm there is a screw but i amnot sure whether the screw attaches the arm/wheel to the flap or whether itis in fact an adjustment screw.

Any ideas?

Also, can I remove the front grille of the center A/C (in case I can adjust the flap opening?).

Many thanks.

Kent: Thank you for your (always)helpful posts and links.

Yesterday I was speaking with a Deputy Attorney General from Santa Fe. Time to go back to Santa Fe, although I think I will wait for the fall....
