Jim- I redid all the flaps. Of the three set of rotating flaps, I'll call them bottom, center, and top. The center ones are the only ones you can't take completely out. What I did was pop off the plastic black strips, cut foam and pop the plastic pieces back. I found after looking at a number of foams that replacement foam for a home AC window unit word the best. for the two larger flaps that deep inside I just sued some self sticking felt. JFF

Then there's a hinged pair that obviously close on some kind backflow. Above that is another shaft with another set of flaps. These look harder to get to. Do they need refurb, and, if so, how do you do it? Jim |
