The fan in most cases can be taken apart, the armature cleaned up, the bushings lubricated and re-installed. Search for fan removal and disassembly on: www.smartcarofamerica.com.

Try taking it to an electric motor rebuilding shop and see if they can overhaul it. If the armature is bad, they may be able to rewind it. Other then the armature having a concern, the motor should be rebuildable.

Seeing this, and being someone who has no love toward Apple products, I have to say is a good idea. Sure, the cradle should be streamlined so it doesn't look so huge, maybe relocated a bit for better placement for the driver (how I sit in my Smart,…
