Lots of dust getting into vehicle!!!

[YountExplr]

I live in Arizona, and whenever I go onto dirt roads all of the dust gets into the cabin of the explorer and there is constantly a nice layer of dust in my vehicle. :thumbdwnoes anyone know why this is happening and how I might fix it?

Weatherstripping might be going?

maybe try getting a cowl to go over your vent intake where your wippers are. or turn off your circulation vent

 

[YountExplr]

what is a cowl?

 

[Trebor]

its like the bug sheild but it goes where your wipers are, so it also covers your intake vents

try rolling up your windows:

phoenix, really... I am going to post a thread because I left my windows down...

 

[ThePhoenix]

its a joke...come on....hense the smiley

I am certainly not suggesting you would do that.... appologies if I offended you....

 

[YountExplr]

thats alright its a bad week, you did nothing wrong

If you drive with the ac/vents off, does it still get in? That way, you can start to tell where it's all coming from

 

[YountExplr]

charlie are you just talking about turning the ac off or doing something else to shut the vents?

 

[TonyC88]

id say both. do a little trial and error so you dont start closing and fixing stuff that doesnt need closing and fixing.

remember that if you use a/c setting, it leaves the vents open...max a/c setting closes the outside vents and makes it recirculate
