Drivers side to hot - quick fix pictures please.

I suspect that the flapper box that feeds the left hand side of my Carrera 3 has seized closed (ie HOT!).

I will not have time to get to it for a few weeks, but understand from previous threads (thanks Jack, etc.) that there is quick work around to stop the hot air getting in to the cabin. Before I start pulling at carpet and connecting air tubes under the dash, does anyone have any pictures showing what I should be aiming to do.

Thanks in advance

Don't pull any carpet, or monkey with any hoses. Slide under the car and at least wedge the flapper valve OPEN.

Having got home and investigated pulling out original carpet, I agree with what you are saying Superman. Only problem now is sliding under a car that rides at 24.5" with 9" Fuchs is a little tight - Guess I need to get out my ramps sooner than later after all.
