    This morning I hear tapping coming from the passenger side vents

    Further listening there is something moving around in there.

    If I remove the blower motor is it possible to snake a hose up in the vents suck out any potential critters?

    thanks
    Scott

    That happened to my wife yaris.... she called me from work and said that her car started knocking on the drive in. I drive up there and take out the blower to find a headless mouse. I put gutter screen over the vent intake after that one.
