Happened when you performed a car wash and the in coming air vent was set to
allow outside air into vehicle!



>Is there anything I can do to clean it out?



To repair you will have to remove, thoroughly clean out by hand (use Lysol lemon
fresh for best results!) and re-install the plastic air vents under the dash.



The next time you wash your vehicle -- remember to close the vents!

Absolute garbage.

Water cannot get inside vehicle thru air vents.

Unless the vehicle is submerged.

It's a pre 85 chrysler product not a gm or a ford numb nuts!

usually true, but I once had a '67 Dart that had collected enough pine
needles in the air intake to allow water in the passenger compartment
when it rained - the cowl drains were completely full. Was fun to clean
out too, as the only access to that area was through the little vent
doors in the HVAC box - you can *just* reach your hand up in there to
grab a handful of pine needles

So, what's your point. I've owned pre 85 Chrysler products. Never had an issue
with water getting in through the air vents unless the vehicle was flooded.

I agree that could happen, but pine needles aren't an issue where I live.

Even a Ferd or Cheby could get plugged.
