First Porsche!
 
Last week I bought my first Porsche! It’s a 2001 986 Boxster. Only 26,000 miles! It’s a five speed everything runs great but I have pieces of foam coming out of the air-conditioning vents and for heater vents and defroster vents! How can I stop this without taking the dashboard apart? All suggestions are welcome. thank you in advance!

Welcome Swordtwo. They all do that. A few methods to cure it, do some research here to find a solution you can work with.

In the meantime, please post some pictures of your Boxster.

There's a long discussion here:

My contribution starting at post #37 shows a way to remove the stereo/center console and cut the duct get access for the repair.
More recently there have been a couple threads mentioning plastic plugs that can be inserted in the holes.
