Air Recirculation Intake Grille
A fine-mesh grille, P/N 3537658-1, is available to help prevent paper and other small debris from entering the recirculation air intake. This grille is designed to mount on the existing plastic grille.
From model year 1997 grilles in the recirculation intake are factory installed.
Remove:
- right underdash panel
- right side panel
Remove plastic grille on heater housing underneath dashboard on passenger side.
Grille is attached by four catches visible from the outside. Release one catch at a time.
Adjust catches
Carefully file down catches by same thickness as fine-mesh grille: otherwise, plastic grille can be difficult to re-mount.
Note:
Do not remove too much material!
Install grille
Insert fine-mesh grille. Cutouts in new grille should engage with catches in plastic grille.
Install grille assembly in heater housing
Ensure that catches engage recess in housing.
Re-install side and underdash panels.
