MISSING AIR CONDTIONER INTAKE VENT ON R23

[Nickc]

My 2019 R23 has the air conditioner compressor unit under the front passenger seat and I now realize that it is missing the intake vent facing forward that apparently is on other R23's. This is contributing to compressor icing and shutdown. I would appreciate PHOTO and/or dimensions of any R23 (or R25) intake vent, so I can cut/install a intake vent into front panel under the passenger seat. I believe this will solve my problem.

This is from a 2025 R23. The outside wood frame dimensions are 17 x 9 1/4 inches. The inside grill dimensions are 15 x 7 1/4 inches. There is a cleanable mesh filter behind. Not sure how to access it though. Perhaps through the grill but maybe from the copilot seat.

Do you have a return register in the roof of the cave? Under the front seat? That's where they were on older models. As to how to clean the filter, the grille snaps out of the frame. Just insert your fingers, and gently pull. The filter is a washable deal, like on a microwave oven.
