Where each cable comes out of its tube, a rubber boot keeps road water, sand and salt from getting into the tube. Once the old boot cracks or goes missing, the cable rusts inside the tube and the heater lever gets stiff, sticks, or the cable snaps — and then you have no heat or a flap stuck open. A new boot is the cheapest way to protect a new or freshly lubricated heater cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide the boot over the cable before connecting the cable end to the heater box flap lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat the boot fully over the end of the guide tube so it seals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLubricate the cable inside the tube with a light oil or cable lube before refitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the heater lever moves the flaps fully open and closed after adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1972 Bus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
