Was a little hard to watch, but this helped prepare me for my fix. Same vehicle (03 Explorer) and mine is blowing and all, but on fan setting 4 (highest) it sounds like there is something sucking to the fan or similar and the air movement is not in line with the #4 highest setting. i think my door may be laying in there as well. I agree with Andrew below - removing the glove box is simple and would have really helped you on this repair and with the camera angles. I was even going to say the seats remove from these things with 4 bolts and < 1 min of effort, that would have given you even more room to work. Thanks for taking the time and if you keep making videos you will get better at the post processing needed to make a good video. Keep it up! Thanks again, Clay

I have a 2005 Ford explore and I have the same problem, great video thank you very much.

Several things I would add: I took the glove compartment off altogether. It is three screws and makes it much easier to work in that area. Once the fan blower is removed, I was able to reach up and remove the mesh and then reach up and re-attach the flap. It was not necessary or helpful to try to pry open the housing. There was also a metal bracket that held the housing to the dash. I removed three screws and took that metal bracket out. This allowed me to easily reach the vaccuum actuator at the top of the housing to re-attach the flap. Now, the question will be how long will it stay on there until the next time it comes unhinged and falls down to block the blower. We shall see. It is certainly some sort of design flaw.

I cant wait to do this its been a long time coming

Hey brother same I have a ford explorer with the same problem of the window open and you get a lot of air to the van and thanks for the video I'm going to fix it and I know where the problem is

Great advice, Thank you!

Just my two cents. You can install this cabin air filter above the blower www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=489028&jsn=7 Fits perfectly.

This is like listening to a kid with a stutter read a jewels vern novel. Holy crap just get to a point!!!
