    Here's how to access the exterior blower intake.
    There's a clip with a Phillips button ,not an actual screw just pull it up then pull up the entire clip. Then pull back the hood gasket, it's just hooked on to the lip, and lift up the cover.
    Underneath is the air box inlet. Could probably zip tie some 1/16 mesh over it.

    I haven't done it but I think to completely remove the cover for cleaning you would pull the wipers(1set screw each), then open the hood and pull the clips at either end of the gasket, remove the gasket, then just pull up on the cover to unsnap it.

    I bought a car about 2 years ago that had thick rubber floor mats in it made from industrial conveyor belting. It was a small car and the smell was overpowering long after I had removed the floor mats. The car was perfect and clean inside and out, but the smell was almost urine-like. I knew it was the rubber, but guests in the vehicle wouldn't have. I bought a similar product and it worked!! No more rubber stench or stank! Prior to doing this, I had left a huge box of baking powder (I got it at Dollar General. I didn't even know they made them this big!) spread all over the seats and carpeting for about a day in the summer sun and then vacuumed it away. It did not work.
