driver side air vent
I've discovered a water leak coming from my driver side fresh air vent. I assume the cowls are clogged and I will flush them out. But I tried to remove this panel , and the E brake assembly is in the way . The is a bolt that hold it to the dash , but there are two attachments to the fire wall that look like rivets. Since this sit right in front of the vent i cant get to two of the screws that hold the vent panel in place. Any ideas

You have to remove the e-brake pedal assembly. There are 2 nuts on the engine side of the firewall that are easiest reached by removing the wheel liner. It is a pretty good reach lying on your back.
Once the assembly is out of the way you can get all 4 screws out to see what it going on. Be prepared to clean out hands full of crud. Leaves, dirt, pine needles, etc... Have a shop vac and air hose ready.

It's not bad, just 8-10ish phillips screws along the bottom outside edge of the wheel opening on mine and then I could pull it out of the way enough to snake my arm in.
