    Anyone owned their 23/24 long enough to experience leaves and seeds getting through the screen over the front windshield base air intake? I've tried vacuuming but no luck. I'm sure there is a way to take apart the plastic pieces that make up the intake vent 'box', but I can't find instructions anywhere yet. Any ideas?

    Follow your nose? Not kidding: just raise the hood, look for any obvious fasteners, and in absence of such, try gently prying, this way and that.
