I had the same deal with the heater valve control. I modified the wire and I never checked the effective travel - it was closed in one direction, and open in the other and half way in the middle and that made me happy. I sent pictures and explained the situation to the tech support folks and they didn't really seem to care or want to work with me to fix the situation for future buyers.

Have you tried to install the defroster hoses yet???

I started with an original AC firewall with the BIG hole for the blower, so I never got to see how the unit would have fit as intended as I had to make brackets to adapt their stuff to the AC firewall - fortunately somebody here had already done this and provided a template for the conversion.

I also didn't like the idea of just installing the water control valve to the hose and letting it flop around, so I fabbed a bracket to hold the valve

The bracket holds the valve and the return hose and the AC hoses run under the bracket to hold them on the top of the fenderwell and attaches to two existing holes in the face of the fender well.

Sounds like yours works better than mine since it was halfway open at the halfway point of the slider travel.

Had no idea about the bracket for the water valve. I'll probably wind up having to do the same thing. I haven't gotten to the point of hooking the ducting up yet. I got the box installed, the firewall plate on and started running the overflow line. They forgot to put the 90* adapter for the line in with the kit and I don't feel like waiting on them to send me one so I just picked one up at the hardware store. I'm going in order so I'll start on the water valve and heater hose install this weekend.

Great tip about the fittings because that second fitting you got from them routes the line much much better. I'll keep that in mind.
