W126 over ventilating , BRRRR.
 

Well it's winter down here and the fresh air vent in the middle of the dash on my '88 300sel won't shut off .

Darn it sure flows some cold air.

The link to the flap has become disconnected.

How do I access the center lever under the dash without doing a major dash strip out ??

I have tried to remove the face plate that the 3 levers go thru , but have not been able to achieve that yet.

Anyone been there ?
Thanks for your guidance ......

It's REALLY cold here , and the draft is freezing .......... :( .

Has someone been into this part of the dash before ??

PLEASE ,,
