Hi
Its making a low rumble that gets louder the higher the blower setting is on-possibly dirt in the cage or around the motor I was told. How do I remove the kick-shield panel covering the blower motor so I can remove the blower-motor to inspect and clean out?

blowerhas to be replaced, not cleaned.

the kick panel may just pull off the clips but look and see if there are any screws securing it to the post.

There's always the possibility you will find leaves or paper in the blower cage causing it too.

Thanks for the replies-my mistake not the kick-panel-the shield directly under the glove compartment. How do I remove this to gain access to the blower motor?
