Title: Heater air intake
Post by: smo on September 27, 2006, 16:31:48

Mine seems to be a bit muddy and wet, so trying to remove it to clean out the crud.

However despite removing the grill screws from top, and bracket inside wing i cant seem to remove it, it appears fixed else where! Can someone tell me where and how i remove it :)

hmm, are the only securing screws the ones that go through the grill, or are there others as it almost looked attached to the inner wing in some places when i pulled it and the rest distorted around a few "fixed" points???

The grill is only secured on by top screws, so that's all you need to undo.

Grill already off, but intake firmly held...i'll look for more screws underneath the wing edge like mike suggested :)
