[s-cars] e: Blower motor blown

[Brian Armstead]

I used a long Craftsman pry bar, and rigged a support system using cable 
ties strapped to the hood catch mechanism to support the box while I did 
my thing.  Be careful when you replace the clips that attach to the 
plastic cover at the base of the windshield.  Resist the urge to tap 
them into place.  I did it with a soft mallet and ended up with a 
spidered windshield...
