Ah yes, the infamous heater clip. Mine broke this past weekend. I drove home in 2 hours of traffic, 80 degrees...not bad but it was something like 80% humidity that day. I was DYING in the car, jeans on and a black shirt... horrible horrible drive home. I was going to divert course home to the emergency room to be treated for heat stroke. The only time i ever wished i hadnt taken my a/c out...

. For the time being, you can ziptie the rod to whats left of the plastic clip...as you wait for your $2 part to be shipped to you via UPS for $7
