Default Hate Mices to Pieces!

Told my wife not to put the bird seed in the garage. Turned my A/C fan on and after a puff of debris and a noise I shut it off. After close inspection I see the pink wall insulation (from my garage wall) and other debris in the form of a nest under my left windshield control arm under my hood. My question, this week I want to remove the cover from the bottom edge of the windshield and clean out the mice nest and clean the fan. How difficult of a job am I faced with? I have the tools but I am no master mechanic. I respect and appreciate your advise. Tahks.

Thanks Hotwheels for the thread. Looks like I will take my time and try to clean out the nest. Don't think thay have been in their very long to do much damage. However, my fan is practicaly dead . . . no air volume.

After looking at that latest thread I may elect to have my favorite technician do it for me.

Good luck getting the mess out of the car. Hope they didn't do any damage.
