No no no . Show me on that guide that you just showed me , where the intake through the windshield wipers is located . The air is sucked in Through the outside windshield . How do i remove this plastic shield where the tunnels are clogged .

The air is sucked in by the battery, no? There's a cabin filter there.

AFAIK the air flow from the outside to the cabin through air filter below the battery, if the problem with the intake through the windshield then you can just vacuum it using high power vacum cleaner or try to blow it using air compressor the out take of the air should be around the cabin filter, please check it first before blow it using air compressor
