Alot of tree trash has fallen inside the cowl vent area. I've seen brickboard posts that Art has posted with pictures of a homemade vacuum cleaner attachment....I think I can come up w/ something similar. My problem is alot more simpler....where do I vacuum? The pictures I've seen show some sort of body opening inside the passenger compartment..is it near the foot board area?

Bottom line..I think that the tree trash will plug up the body vent/drain system....or worse, it can cause rust to develop over time. Does anyone have a diagram of the 240 airflow design..that includes location of the potential places to insert a homemade vacuum hose?
