The Stick
It's crazy to see for sure how someone will adapt this or that. This 'stick' mount did remind me of the Merc Marquis '02 model I had back a year or two ago. The heater/defrost was inoperable when I purchased it, used of course. So I had a shop do the dirty task of getting to the repair of the blend door, no easy nor inexpensive job to say the least.
When I went to pay the invoice the guy that did the job had left the part he removed for me to inspect.
Crazy as it seemed then, somewhere along the way someone had decided that being the blend door wouldn't close when not warranted that a stick [ piece/block ] of wood would be just what was conviently at hand as a workable solution in shutting off the flow of heat, permantly. In Arizona not an issue 'cept in winter mornings.
What is ironic is where that make shift block of wood had to be placed, how in heaven's name that was done, I can't fathom. Chris I'm sure you are likely aware of where this blend door is located up under the dashboard and why not order the part if you've gone that far to DIY this job, quite the mystery.
It's possible the job of rigging the blend door with that block of wood, which was glued in place, could be managed without removing the dash. If I recall correctly, the job performed correctly did require removing the dash, at least the invoice seemed to tell me that when I left a chunk of my week's wage with the cashier.
At 63 years of age, retired with a part time 'C' store job and not in the best of physical condition, I had little serious thought of trying to DI'Myself.

:face-turquoise-covering-eyes:Oops! Yeah, I feel ya there Chris, Save the camera! :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:
I've released my wee 6' x 10' cargo trailer forgetting to chock the wheels and then, roll baby roll, Oh F**K! And bc I've trailered that wee trailer so infrequently in the two plus years I've owned it,
I've let it roll decoupled from my,
'03 SR5 Access Cab Tundra :face-red-heart-shape: iForce V8 (love this truck don't you know)
and due to my inexperience or obvious stupidity, probably on three occasions. :face-blue-wide-eyes: :text-green-game-over:
Each time could have been worse had luck not been on my side.
Yeah, that one neighbor that peeked over the fence when Jen was refurbing the boat's engine cover no doubt will be celebrating with a magnum of bubbly.
Any ideas on a ceremony? Hey, I can ask, you don't have to answer.
If you two can sing on camera like you did, there's harmony in matrimony too. :body-blue-raised-arms::hand-orange-covering-eyes::washhands::trophy-yellow-smiling:

Where to start?:yt:
This video had Everything! :planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring: Another five out of 5 [:planet-orange-purple-ring:'s] for compelling content and so much more
OMG, edge of your seat last act of a $400 UTall Tale to put on NNKH; Dude if you hadn't put it on record how would you ever explain what You went through on this crazy night?
DANGER at every turn.
You are such a thrill seeker, but this was not what You signed up for... that dude needed to thank You for your service.
(the offer of a brew at the end was his way, but so much better to just bid him well and head home)
I can say I never was quite so physically fit and a bit out of my element when it came to sports and mechanical stuff. I think I enjoy your content bc you are everything I would have wanted to be at your time of life.
Admittedly I did get myself into some sketchy predicuments. Including during my career as a tour bus operator.
I drove tour coaches in San Fran before I had enough of professional driving* I managed to get a few buses stuck, three I recall famously, in precarious places.
Now 65 and still alive; all I can say is you had a lucky charm on high that night which got you home safe, as did mine each time.
*I drove tour coaches for the last twenty some years of driving for a pay check, but also a sundry of other vehicles of which some were sans passengers. Retired the CDL in 2014
Edit p.s. @29:05 Sage words. Chris, there was so much in this vid, I forgot to touch on this mindful thought so articulate and truthful. BTW have you heard, the Golden Gate Bridge is finally getting 'The Prevention Barrier' that most everyone never wanted?
Except of course the surviving family and friends of those that left their life via the gate to H-E- double hockey sticks below.
Peace Out Bro, and give Jen a big hug and smooch for all the boys out here that are still looking for their best friend and mate.:hand-purple-blue-peace:
