Default Blast, it appears because my HVAC blower motor is squeaking now when I go over
bumps at highway speed or when the incoming air is below 35 F, I have to replace it (or so says search).

Any insight at what it takes to do this? Do I have to remove the dash or can I go this by removing the glove box?

If I'm going to remove the dash, might as well do my heater core while I'm at it and clean the A/C condenser too.

That's actually pretty well thought out by the engineers for a change. Thanks.

I'll use that to clean it out and then put a lube that says in place after that.

If given the option, would you remove the lower door trim and have the holes filled and painted?
