I think this is the preferred way. The only invasive thing is the dremel of the top cap. Assuming that can be re-capped, and further assuming you can reach the third interior door, this repair should be the best choice.

Read the whole thread, the fix with better pictures was posted just weeks ago ...

The problem is that there are THREE doors that need to be recovered. (Two on one pivot)
See photo of the heater box exploded.

scroll down this thread for a picture of the pink servo and the pivot arm that must be removed to get out the bottom pivot point.

reviewed together, these threads seem to illustrate the best way to do this repair. To be clear, the "right" way requires removing the entire dash and there is NO WAY I am doing that. This method seems to be viable and mostly nondestructive.
