How-To remove the panel to replace A/C Blower Motor 2009 Kia Amanti!!!

What is your question?

A/C blower does not blow air. Issue started a few years ago before my warranty ran out. My car was not diagnosed or repaired because it would happened spontaneously but now it happens every time. Currently, my blower only blows out air if I or one of my kids kicks the area under passenger side glovebox. I was taught that trick by one of the Kia service guys while it was not blowing but told to come back when it stopped blowing again. The problem was that I had a busy schedule and did not have the time to just run down to Kia dealer when I started having the issue again. Then it was no longer having the issue. I have seen other “How-To’s” on replacing A/C blower motors; however, the first step of removing plastic cover panel on the passenger side, under the glovebox by removing screws but my vehicle does not have screws in the panel to remove it. NOT AT ALL!! All other DIY “How-To” video’s state to remove the panel by unscrewing it. Please Help!!

What makes this problem better or worse?

Hot days and trying to use A/C can cause overheating

How long has your 2009 Kia Amanti had this problem?

Off and on for years but now issue is constant.
