I WAS WONDERIN' THE SAME THING ON MY '91 (IT NOW HAS A/C)

 

Happens to every truck with kick panel vents. My legs are always getting cold air blown on them, just something you need to get used too unless you seal them shut

Lowblazer, the cap lock button is a quarter inch to the left of the A key. Tap the cap locks button. Its a magical thing.

KISS MY ASS, I HAVE TO HAVE CAPS LOCK ON AT WORK FOR THE PROGRAM I USE, AND I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF, BUT NOW I AM DOING IT JUST TO PISS YOU OFF.

 

I figured it out. Push to close, pull to open. I looked more closely at the flappers, and they appear to be a bit warped, thus not closing completely.

 

i freaking hate my kick panel vents! i wanna rip em out and weld em shut!

maybe at a later date when i strip the truck hahaa

 

Dont they have some foam stripping on the? You might be able to get some thicker stuff from a hardware store.

 

they do have it on them... its what holds them in place when you take out all the damn screws hahaa! but my flap just wont stay closed...

 

My first S10 had the vents you guys are talking about. I went to the hardware store and bought springs similar to carb linkage springs. In the fall b4 it got too cold, I hooked them on the vent doors and over to a bracket under the dash. I had to do each side. They worked great and never let any cold air in at all.

If I still had the truck, I would take some pics. Very very easy fix.

yea, but then you got springs under your dash

that would bug me... i'd rather have nothing there at all... or maybe build a speaker pod or soemthing..? probably too far back under the dash though

 

anyone know why mine has like vacuum operated vent doors?
