My guess is no. I'll also guess that you usually leave lever D in open position. What happens as our van approach that age is the foam deteriorates, which is why we can't shut off the air flow entirely. My foam came up the defroster outlet. Yours jamed up in the roof vents.

To see if I'm right, look see if the foam is in little pieces or in one big hunk.
