I would agree totally. No reason to scrap a car just because it is difficult to repair something of this nature. The vehicle is old enough to be relatively simple compared to many today with computer controlled doodads. It would not be mutilating the vehicle if it was done well. Think of it more as an upgrade to something that was not quite up to spec at the outset.

It would require cutting a hole in the firewall from the outside, and a little bit of thin sheet metal work, but would result in an order of magnitude more airflow, and 5 minute blower fan replacement in the future. These fans cost $30 and come with a 2 year warranty from Napa auto parts. I would much rather see people "mutilating" their W115s to fix a faulty factory design, then scrapping them for newer cars.
