Default Dirty vents...

My 94 GC is blowing dirt out of the vents. I took the top piece of the dash off looking for an open vent or something but nothing. Any thoughts what to do?

Intake should be under the cowl where the windshield wiper motor is.

We used to screw with people years back and dump a bunch of hole punch remnants in there. First time you turned on the fan it was a confetti machine.

My 01 GC is doing that to, but then I found that it was not dirt. It is the foam padding that Jeep used as a gasket when two duct pieces join together. It's annoying to have to wipe down my dashboard every few days.

Yeah but it requires a complete removal of the dash and reinsulating every duct junction with new foam or duct tape. Major PITA so I am wiping instead
