I am surprise no info.
The defrost pod controls the flap and diverts air to the vent or to the windshield. This is how I removed the one on my 83 300D, the part # is 9062200342 but I cannot find any info on the web. I repaired it by replacing the diaphragm inside.
1) remove the push rod linkage to the flap. Put a screw driver behind the push rod and turn. It will pop out.
2) remove the pod by twisting it anti-clockwise.
Older model cars use a similar part. It is pressed into the metal bracket so it is destructive to remove it. Also the push rod is attached to the flap using a metal clip. It is also destructive to remove. The reason I know is that I test-ran it in a junk car which is prior to 83. Removed the diaphragm from the junk pod to fix mine.
Hope this info help others.
