Good to know about the doors. Unfortunately I think this will be
something I have to take the truck to the dealer for. Unless this is
another case where there's a much easier way than what's listed in the
FSM, disconnecting the A/C lines is way over my head. I don't even
want to think about what that's going to cost.

I clean the leaves off any time there are any there. I don't think
that's what is in there, but I suppose you never really know. Out of
curiosity, I wonder why they don't put something there (a simple strip
of window screen would work) to prevent leaves and other debris from
falling in without really restricting the airflow.
