Default 2009 lv hvac

I've diagnosed the horrible noise coming form the dash of my daughters Focus is the door in the Air Inlet Blend Door housing which has come loose and keeps finding its way into the Blower motor. (Photo Blend 1)

I managed to follow the WSM, I have to use the LT one as the LV looks completely different, and remove the dash thinking this will allow me to get the Housing out. However I have been unable to manoeuvre the box to remove it.

Am I doing somehting wrong, or do I need to keep disassembling. I was hoping to avoid pulling the bars out but if they need to come then so be it.

Cheers

What am I doing wrong, I can't get the Inlet Housing (part 13) out and by this diagram it looks like it should be able to be removed without disassembling the whole dash?

Long story short, the wiring loom was stopping me removing the box. I managed to push the loom up behind the box (toward firewall) and a little bit of gentle force/prying and manoeuvring it finally came out.

I found the following videos brilliant to show me how the dash came out, which I don't think I needed to do, and what the components look like when they are out. Unfortunately the one where they removed everything didn't show how they remove all the components, and it's in Indonesian, but it was nice being able to see the parts.

Simple Dash removal


Complete Dash Removal


Now I just need to work out fi I can repair the flap or just get a new box from the wreckers ...... oh and try and squeeze it back in and then put all the screws back in, not lookign forward to that!!
