Corvette C6 Mode Valve Failure
Hi,
Twice I have had the mode valve (air-conditioning scroll) in my 2008 C6 Corvette replaced and it has just ripped again. The scroll inside the valve seems to become stressed or something and tears. It than winds around the rollers. My symptoms were the inability to re-direct the air flow through the vents and a clicking sound before failure. Twice this has cost me over $1000.00 dollars to fix, because the dealer has to remove the dash completely.
Does anyone know what may be making this mode valve fail ? This is gonna cost me another grand now. thats 3 grand in 12 months.

I try to never switch modes while the fan is up high, always dial it down first before switching because it seems like while it is moving it blocks all vents and although you would hope GM had tested this thing to stand up to that kind of air pressure, I'm not so sure.
