Not closing properly or the mechanism has dropped off the back and they were fed up of cold draughts? The cable that operates the flaps is long winded to change if it's broke or come off at the flap end .
Get the tape and plates off and see what you've got , if the vinyl is good everything else is fixable but removing the lower dash completely is a strong possibility to access repairs.

It's not unknown for the flaps to drop off - two flaps on a thin steel rod, held on with a couple of crap clips. No chance of demisting the screen then, unless you block off the holes - hence the duct tape.
Don't be surprised if the heater box/channel is mostly rust. Easily fixed though.

Ahh i get it now. Thanks kindly for your guys info. I have a feeling the heating doesnt work at all as i only feel air coming out of the screen vents when driving and the fan up/down dont change anything..
Had a quick look under the hood and looks to be disconnected. Will have to have a proper look when i get some daylight at weekend.

Mine is (currently) lurking in a 45 gallon drum of electrolyte out back, on, IIRC, a 10v potential difference.
Ive been putting off welding it for about a fortnight now. At least it cant rust any more if it stays under the voltage!

If the bottle leaks, surely it will be without fluid? Or is that too obvious an answer?

There's certainly some odd stuff going on there.
Your heater unit - the thing on the bulkhead on the passenger side - has no coolant pipes going to it.
Its got another lump in front of it - no idea what that it - that is then connected to the blue thing.
Its a 300tdi in there, in case you did not know. The bulkhead is a 200tdi or somthing else (the fuel filter is up high on the drivers side)

Yes it does, look again, they come out and drop down and are connected to two rubber hoses.
