Best way to check the windscreen blowers?
« on: 30 October 2010, 15:07 »
so this morning noticed that one of the vents is either blocked or not working! as the whole screen cleans apart from the section right in front of my face! and no air is blowing out so any advice would be welcomed :)

main thing is, take the dash vents out and also the surrounds, then the pipes come off the back easily. you cant actually refit the outer pipes properly without taking the vent surrounds out, as the openings need to clip behind the surround. it'll make sensce when you look.
