<VV> LM defroster baffles

[Kent Sullivan]

This is shown in the assembly manual, in the first section with the other
heater particulars. 500s did not have the baffles so if the duct is from
one, you won't have any staple marks (assuming no one added them).

Yep, it should be obvious.  Once you get the defroster duct out, you'll see
the old staples where the original cardboard was fastened to the duct.
Remove the old staples and discard.  Hold the new cardboard to the duct and
drill small holes in the cardboard using the holes in the duct as a
template.  Attach new cardboard with staples.  You'll have to use pliers to
crimp the staples as I recall.  Reinstall defroster duct and you're done.
Now go enjoy a bowl of Cap'n Crunch.

OK, I got sick of seeing the reflection from the instrument lights in the
windshield so I ordered the cardboard defroster baffles (yes Matt, I realize
I could have made my own from my Captain Crunch cereal box).  They came in a
bag with some staples but no instructions.  Has anyone installed these
jewels?  Will it be obvious to me what to do when I get the defroster duct
out?  There are currently no baffles installed so I don't have anything to
go by.
