Another way is to seal the passage ways (ducts). No different than when contractors clean your heating ducts at home, they spray a sealant after to keep any loose particles from being carried in the airstream. Now this sounds like a good solution - BUT - I do not know of any tool/device to reach in there and do the spraying. PLUS, gotta be careful that any sealant sprayed does not go to the actuators as it may affect their operation.

Just a thought...

Another thought is using a leaf blower and somehow blow into the intake hoping that it'll blow that stuff out.... or use a shopvac and suck it out from the defrost outlets....or from the intake.... not sure exactly where the intake is though. I know the grilles outside the windshield are part of it but thats got a drain somewhere so rain water does not go right in.
