Hmmm, I 'll have to check that out. One is always reluctant to give an 
"extra tug" to something as highly leveraged as that flap, especially 
when it's out-of-sight and potentially rusty. It's even harder to imagine 
what that extra position would be good for, but I believe you, it seems 
totally in character (over-engineered flap, under-engineered defroster).

So this means I don't get the prize?

; )
