Do like I did. Just take the flapper door out and leave the shaft. Air will come out all vents on heat or AC. Defrost still works as always. Works fine for me. You have to leave the shaft so the compressor switch will stii work.

The flapper door cracks where it is attached to the shaft. The door is just plastic and will break with age and use. I have heard of people repairing the door with a fiberglass repair kit, it supposedly works pretty good and is much stronger than a new one.

I was able to fix mine by soldering a couple of "U" brackets to the steel rod and then using pop rivits through the arms of the "U" through the plastic door. Works great. Won't break.
