The best thing, maybe, to do is to hope that it melted only into the ducting. The duct hoses go down from the dask vents, then bend almost horizontally to go the box for the blower motor etc. So, if you're lucky, it only melted so far, and NOT into the blower motor box. My suggestion is to remove the lower covers under each side of the dash, or the one side where the stuff has leaked. Then disconnect the ducting. This is fairly straigtforward, but kind of a pain in the butt since you are working in a cramped space, upside down, on your back and in the dark. Also, some of the large duct hoses are forced together with a lip and channel connector on each end, which can be tricky to line upagain. Some of them also have a small metal staple to secure them otgether, which is yet anohter incremental pain. Then, you can either clean them out, or, if you have acces to a parts car or a pick-n-pull, replace with new ducting. It's doable, but requires a air degree of patience to fiddle and fit them back together.
