Hello all. Does anyone know how to remove the heater blower motor and plastic cover under the hood? I have loosened the 10mm bolt holding down the plastic cover, and its loose, but I dont want to damage the cover. Also, is there anyone that sells a replacement blower motor? I dont have any heat/defroster.

the heater blower unit is removed from under the dash and not from the top.
you need to remove the dash prior to do this as there is a metal clamp keeping is attached to it's position on the metal frame.

Hmmm. Thats what I was afraid of. Oh well, I will just go for it I guess.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement fan motor for a 1977 924? I have seen a few of them, but none match what I have. My car also has a large opening next to the battery for the A/C. Its not like anything I have seen on any other 924's. Will the 944 setup work on my car?

There is an ugly way, you can cut it out from the top. I did it on mine since i didnt want to riun anything under the dash, and you cant see it when everything is mounted. The remount is done via some sheet metal and very good fastening glue. I think there is a how to around here somewhere.

I've been slowly removing the A/C stuff from my car whenever it's in the way or causes a leak in the cabin. I welded that gigantic hole you speak of closed.

Now that you mention it, I recall removing that cover to be quite a struggle; the A/C version much more so than the standard squirrel cage model. It was so long ago I don't recall any specific advice.

You're probably supposed to remove the heater blower assembly from below prior to removing the cover.
