Pieces of a foam blowing from the air vents

I'd get in there and get it sorted. John (78F350) has a good trick to make it easier to get too and fix, from the radio compartment. For some reason I can't find the thread/reference but I'm sure he'll let us know soon. Not to go all apocalyptic on ya but I can't imagine for a minute that breathing those chemically made micro-size particles floating around in that small cabin is a good thing for your well being. Consider fixing this soon if this is freely blowing out of the system.

Oh great, I'm about to go for a 400 mile drive in one of my '99s that I've been meaning to fix for about a year now. I'm going to have to wear my 3M painting mask for the whole trip.

Just messing with you Rob, but it's not that hard to fix.

Mine blows foam from time to time, but I havent fixed it yet. I found just reducing the fan speed to no more than 2 or 3 not using the auto setting keeps it from blowing bits. My heating and air still works and the cabin is small so dont really need high speed air.

Perhaps I gave some the impression that tiny bits come flying out "regularly" ...they don't. Possibly because as a summer driver with the top down 95% of the time I seldom adjust the fan speed any higher than the second mark up from the bottom. IOver a summer I might have 3-5 tiny bits either caught by the plastic vents of laying on the floor mats.........so to me, it's no big deal.
