you can get a chiltons or haynes manual to remove this. it is held on by only a few screws. I beleive it is a filter for the air into the cabin of the car. check out this for more info.

scroll down about half way to see the mystery peice.

No biggy... I can't figure out how it's held down though... One of my friend's told me it just pop's off... but it ain't poppin'!

As for Haynes, I looked... Can't find anything in there... Maybe I'll go read the book again...

the other post has where the location of the bolts are. then when you get them out you can just pop it off.

Hi again,
Just look at it close up, if there are any type of fasteners holding it down then use the properl tool to remove it. I have removed a few of these in my days but I can't recall what tool it takes at this moment. If you ever need help hun please PM me.

see the little tab that extends towards the driver's side? That is held in by one of those little one way break-when-when-you-pull plastic fasteners

I think it's the playboy bunny icon and the fact that this site is about 99.99999999999999999999% male that is mixing people up. I just figured this out in another post where you had to state your gender.


I will have to agree that it is a break when you pull plastic peice. If you need to remove it, you will need to find a good one (used) or purchase a new one to replace it.

Sadly enough, I have never had any trouble before with identifying my gender!

LoL!

I would say if you are having a tough time with it, or it breaks upon removal, you should hit up a local salvage yard and either get yourself a replacement piece or practice taking one off there. If you break that one~ just walk away.

Not that gender really matters, right?


Yeah, that screen is the intake for the cabin air. I found this out when mine got broken, some leaves got in, and then for the next couple of weeks whenever I turned the inside fan on, crushed leaf bits flew through the vents...

Oh, and to finally get the thing off after you remove the 1 screw holding it on (in the middle), you have to remove the wiper arms... The rest of it just snaps in place.

It's there to keep large debris out of the HVAC system, such as leaves and lumps of snow (but you don't have to worry about snow, do you).

If anyone's interested, I believe that part is called a cowl screen.
