In last night's downpour I had to make use of the demist on my van for the first time. It's an early air-cooled set up with just 4 levers. The hot/cold air was so stiff I ended up breaking the panel a little and found it had been simply glued on!
Two questions...
The stiff hot cold will be the cable... I think a little grease/wd40 of the mech should do it because the heating works ok... but I'd like to check?
Should the panel have clips? and does anyone have a spare
Three because you have no hot air feed along the walkthrough to the rear passenger compartment.
With luck you can just straighten the bent wire, as long as it’s a straight push into the outer you should be good. (Unless you have a sticking flap...)

Four cables on three sliders? thats new to me. Mr Bodger in the past maybe? I renewed my heater cable early this year because mine was stiff and in the end it bent and snapped so for what it's worth just replace the cable, it's a cheap job and is pretty simple to sort. Will save you a lot of effort p'ing around with it when it's cold.
Maybe trace those two cables on the heater control to see where they end up?
