Fix for a nagging problem on late model 240s 200

Blower housings on 240s contain the heater core, a/c evaporator, blower motor, and two impellers. They are located behind the middle console with the radio, heater controls, center vents, etc. The housing itself is a two piece grey plastic molding with two black plastic enclosures on the ends that each house an impeller. The impeller enclosures have a end cover secured by 6-8 spring steel clips. These are the clips you want for your air dam.

For a visual reference, see Art Benstein's excellent write-up on blower motor replacement:

The photo above step 7 shows the clips.

Of course, you don't want to cannibalize your own car for these clips, but you can find them at any P&P with 240s on hand, or some kind soul on the Board might volunteer to donate a few. I would send you some, but all three of our 240s have the problem and I used up the supply from my parts car.

Good luck.
