[VAC] Minnor Mystery Solved

["Don Hardman" <donhardman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have always been pretty good at figuring out how things work and how to
take things apart and put them back together. But just recently I found out
how a simple little gadget worked that I have been wondering about for
almost two years. The gadget is the little spring operated clips that holds
the cover in place on the door to my hotwater heater. They were rusted and I
bought two new replacements a long time ago, but then I could not figure out
how to get the old ones off or the new ones on. It looked like an impossible
task. Recently I was over at Bob Jones RV here in Houston and I commented to
Chris, I sure wish there was someway to replace those rusty clips and he
reached down and bingo they were off. So if there are others out there that
don't know how these little gadgets work, just compress the spring then
slide the flat clip off. Install the new shinny ones by reversing. If you
already knew how they work, please don't think less of me.

I started to not tell anybody about this but I would hate to hear that
someone dismantled part of their A/S just to get these things off.
