The diverter flap inside the heater box is tough to move. The pivot rod isn't binding, its the flapper door itself. What can I do to lube this up so it will move easier?------------------

Spray silicone should help things. Nothing is binding on a burr anywhere, is it? Is the action of the cable free?------------------

I have the heater box out of the car and its difficult to operate it even by hand. It seems like its too big. I'm going to try and trim a little of the seal off all the way around the door. I've sanded the sides of the box smooth and put a thin coat of silicone on all of the contact surface and its still very tight.Thanks.

Could the door just have a warp in it or has the box collapsed on itself a little bit ? Is it held in by two small pins , one on top , one on the bottom ? If so they could be rusted or bent. Just throwing out a few ideas off the top of my head. Not really speaking from experience on this one. JOHN  ------------------

What appears to be happening is the rubber seal around the door want to roll over when the door reverses directions. That's why I'm going to trim the seal a little.
