So as some of you know i bought my bronco and it had been sitting for a year. Well it sat under a tree the whole time. I'm not sure why but the black vent box i guess you would call it under the dash on the passenger side is full of leaves and the little helicopter seeds you see during the fall. Well i sucked most of it out with the shop vac but the other day i was driving and i suppose wind went through the wiper cowl or something and it blew some more leaves and whatnot into my floorboard. I went to take the cowl off and it doesnt have any bolts? It looks like it might be permatexed on or something. I didnt want to go prying on it until i asked somebody because i didnt want to tear anything up. Would anybody know how these leaves and stuff got inside my vent box? If i can get the cowl off and clean all of the leaves and stuff out, i am going to install a screen on the backside of the cowl. I just need to know how to get it off. Thanks in advance guys you have been really helpful so far.

 

Assuming they are the same as a Ranger, they don't come off, you can gain some access through the panel that provide access to the wiper linkage.

 

well thats no good. I can't use the wiper access panels because my problem is on the passenger side and the closest panel is in the center of the firewall. Think i would have any luck going threw the heater box?

 

Not sure on the box entry, but I thought if you could get a vacuum hose threw the middle or far end door maybe. I know the middle door is near the distributor so it might be easier to get a long hose from the far door, just a thought. TR
