Using CM evaporator until they are finished. We're required to process the same way as CM always did on evaporator, we're following a way as below:
* A bending jig was set up by Sam. Using it specially for the CM evaporator only.
* We do spray some white paint on cracked area that causes from bending.
* A protection tube (clear) is added right below the angle where will be touched with the latch. Doing so will help to prevent the damage of the evaporator during assembly.
