...from another thread
“For S4+ models when the center vent is manually fully shut the micro-switch on the vent causes the secondary mixing flap to stay in bypass (open) mode so cooler air (direct from the evaporator) will be directed to the door vents (if open).”
If I tape this switch down then theoretically will I be able to open the center vent and have cool air and have the same effect as zip tieing the valve shut? (Unfortunately I can’t test this for a few days!)
and finally is that the final clue to what really is causing the heat to come through?

Ed,
I had a confirmed hole in the fit foam from a previous murine inhabitant when I was getting the car to just go and stop. Now that it moves, the climate is the next project to handle because of the summer heat. I have no AC and am looking for professional help with this. I'd been dreading the long job to drop the torque tube to replace the fit foam.
But today I tried your pink insulation method. I took it for a slow drive and the heat wasn't pouring out of the ashtray / console area. Later on I'll get it up to speed and hope it stays cool(er). Fingers crossed, and THANK YOU!
