Cleaning the 'plenum' chamber?

Featured Replies

Okay maybe i'm being stupid, but how do you get to this? I know its under the windscreen, but the long plastic cover seems to be only removable if you take off the wipers? baring in mind I just looked and its pretty dark out!

About 5 months ago i cleaned the 2 bits at the side as they were full of leaves, dead spiders and frick knows what else! Am I right in believing theres a channel right along the underside of the windscreen?

To do it easily, you need to remove the wipers, and unclip the black trim (it clips onto a channel at the bottom of the screen. Removing the wipers can be 'interesting'- a search should find the details.

Wipers off lol, you ll need new clips for the back of the trim too as they tend to explode when you try to remove them : (

yeah the guy fitting my windscreen broke them and didn't replace... didn't find out as my jets started spraying over the car lol Did a temporary fix with cable ties about 8 months ago :giggle:

cheers for the info guys will have a look next weekend

Let us know the ins and outs will you - our is also full of crud and I've been meaning to have a go as I get the feeling it might be where some of the slightly musty I get in occasionally is coming from.
