HVAC intake

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

HVAC = Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning

Made a small modification to my 93 90S.
We have a LOT of cottonwood trees in this area
and the white fluffy crap flies around all summer.
I wanted to prevent plugging up my core when I
have the power vents on (on A/C I usually recirc
the air).

Located the intake grill for the HVAC under the
black panel to the passenger side under the hood.
Turn the screwheads 180 degrees and lift up the
panel, don't try to take it all the way out, just
enought to get at the intake grill (note that the
black plastic cover may be stuck to the base of
the windshield by urethane, just pull up carefully).

I then pulled that grill off the intake and took it
inside. I pulled out the hot glue gun and proceeded
to glue some fiberglass screen on top of the plastic
grill. It hasn't affected air flow that I can notice and
I'm hoping that the screen will catch any cottonwood
seeds floating around. Now I just need to check/clean
it periodically. You can purchase the fiberglass screen
from any local hardware store, it's just your typical
window screen. You only need a piece about 12"x12".
