All right you google geniuses, where do I get a rear AC blend door? Or does anybody have a P/N or what Ford calls it?

Installation of a new blend door (go search the archives) requires removing the rear unit and all of the problems that go with the procedure.

As you have discovered by now, the default is "heat". My solution was to drill a small hole in the case and prop the door open during the summer using a wooden dowel.

Yeah, I've currently got a self tapping screw holding the door to "cool". Not ideal but I guess it will do. Here in Albuquerque we get enough of all four seasons that it would be nice to have it work right, but not worth major surgery and $$ though.

I called F**d when mine failed and they looked it up...........I'm thinking it was over a hundred bucks for that little piece of plastic. When I got up off the floor, I asked the counter jockey to recheck and he affirmed the price. At that point, I decided to go look in a junkyard.

Found this this write up on the job. Sounds like with the right combination of words it can be done w/o disconnecting the unit. Probably just pull the door out and repair it. Can't be that difficult to repair the door. Maybe make a template of it and get rich selling sheet metal reproductions on the interwebs.
