RIP to the OG heater. Honestly kinda impressive it made it through that many winters. Time to embrace the layered look in the car.

Wasn't there a whole thing about a class action lawsuit for those Civic heaters? I swear I read a forum post years ago where people were tracking the failure. The blend door actuator gears were made of some brittle plastic that just crumbles. You'd hear a clicking from behind the dash for months before it gave up. Some guys were 3D printing metal gears to fix it themselves.

Yeah, those plastic gears were a time bomb.
