All Air Vents 99.9% Blocked 960 900 1993

Until a week ago, my 960 Wagon had wonderfully glacial A/C thanks to the VOV installed last year. Although it has the ubiquitous opening-in-a-turn vents (which worked fairly well most of the time), the much colder air afforded by the VOV negated the need to get them fixed.

Suddenly, although the dash vents are dialed to 100% open, ALL the venting (at all positions - dash, floor, defrost) is 99% slammed shut. I can hear the blower working at all speeds but feel the slightest bit of cold air seep through - as though cracked open just a *wee* bit.

I attempted to run the ECC diagnostic in the 900 FAQs but no joy.

I had to take a 400 mile round-trip + then elsewhere attend an out-of-town funeral in 88+ degree weather with the damn windows down. I think I now have the equivalent of one+ acre of Ohio farmland accumulated inside my car...

I've already dumped $1800 into this POS (for various other problems) in the last two months... Can I fix this myself?
