I wrote this for all the mechanically-challenged such as myself.
On my 2014 Frontier, I broke the plastic clip that holds the in-cabin A/C filter door closed. The broken part was not on the door! I managed to get the door to stay closed with a plastic zip tie. I eventually took it to the dealer, and they ordered a new, unneeded door. What they did to attach the new door was to put a clip and screw where I had my zip tie. It's an alternate fix, but it works. And it's cheaper than ordering the more-than-$600 part that the broken clip was part of (if I understood the pictures correctly). Of course, the zip tie worked fine.
I have two pictures, the first of the repaired door in place with its metal clip and screw. The second shows the old door and a zip tie identical to the one I used. The tie went through the same hole as the screw and the part behind it, and that was adequate for a good seal. My pictures appear to be rotated 90 degrees, so just turn your heads sideways if that's the case (I couldn't see a way to "upright" them.).
Oh.....it only cost just under $20 (I thought it should have been covered under warranty!) for the dealer to attach the metal clip & screw fix with the new door. And, as you can see, I have the old door that I can use in the event of another screw-up.
