This is a common failure point on many models of this era due to small tabs that can break, causing the blend door to no longer function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadly the OEM part is no longer available, so the Engineering Team at ECS Tuning came out with a replacement that's even better than the OEM version! Made from a billet block of 6061-T6 aluminum, our Blend Door Pin will not fail or back out like the OEM plastic version. We designed our pin with a 360° retention feature that creates complete interference while installing it, unlike the factory piece with 2 brittle, plastic tabs. Once fully seated our blend door pin rotates freely and is locked securely into place without worry of any future failures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePART DESIGN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned and engineered in-house to replace the NLA, OEM blend door pin - PN# 1H0819136\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from 6061-T6 aluminum, CNC machined for exceptional durability over the OEM plastic unit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright Dip Type II clear anodized finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllows for smooth operation of the blend door to regulate heat and A\/C\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill not fail or back out like the OE plastic piece due to our improved 360° retention feature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT CONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBillet Aluminum Blend Door Pin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eZinc-plated securing screw and washer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRODUCT DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur ECS Blend Door Support Pin Assembly was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility.
