I found the adjuster thingy. I was able to grab it by reaching in under
where the glove box area used to be. Seems to me I pulled most of the dash
off to get at it. I've now got is set on max cold and the temp is fine
(unless that is too cold, then I may get to repeat). I've been to afraid to
try moving it again, but at least I can drive it without roasting. Just
need to get around to puting the dash back together and I'll be ok until the
cool season hits.
