I had the local quick oil change shop break something on the cabin recirculation door. It just flops around now. At least the oil change shop admits fault.
I contacted the Lexus dealer and they quote me $985 for the part and $1000 for the labor. I told them that I would be embarrassed to quote that if it were me. The guy just said, "yeah..." He also said that he had never heard of the repair part below. Maybe the part number is different in the US vs. UK? Anyway, I know that it is the oil change shop's fault, but I can't bring myself to let Lexus gouge like that...
MonkeyRX also said "Isn't there a repair kid for like $35 bux available at Sewell now?"
I figure that he means https://www.sewell.com/, but I can't find any info on the repair kit their either.
Anybody know what the part number is for the Lexus repair kit, or have more information on how to find it on the Sewell website?
Thanks all,
Jon

I actually got this fixed, by having my mechanic replace the assembly with the complete kit (listed above). Going forward, remember to set the recirculate mode to ON (left option) so the cabin door is OPEN when you are changing out the cabin filter.

I pulled the filter this morning, and reached my fingers up in there and wiggled the flap. It didn't seem stuck or hung-up on anything. So I tested the HVAC again. It worked perfectly, in all positions. Hmmm.......
So, now my question is: What was it stuck on and why? How can one drive around for several weeks after replacing the filter, never have an issue, then one day crank the car and the flap decides to get itself stuck, and begin the jackhammer noise? I don't understand . . . . .

The noise started again the very next day. So, today I took the glove box out and look what I found . . . My wife has always said I'm missing a screw . . . .
