Pull up the plastic sill cover. It is tight so you'll need to pull hard. Then pull back the carpet at the sill. You'll see a plactic plug. Remove the plug and there you'll see the junk that has washed down from the air intake. Art's vacuum idea should work fine. I think there is an access plug by the back seat sill too.

I've worked out a way to add a mesh screen to the air intake on the 240. It works great. I posted pictures of the results in the images here on this forum but I can't tell you how to find them.
