Are there any filters in the heating or AC system that need replacing? 2nd question... The defrost vent cover appears to be broken and is curled up at both ends. Can this be glued back in place or does it need to be able to be removed for servicing or removal of dash? Thanks for any help!! FEDFIREGUY

It is the same as the Ford filter ($40). http://www.contour.org/mods/mods.php?s=howto&displayid=16 Second answer, dash warp. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=1017351&Forum=trouble&Words=dash&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=2weeks&Main=1017351&Search=true#Post1017351 "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
