That will be a job for the next owner of this car.

I have the same issue. my peices dont actually fly out they just get stuck behind the vents. Pain in the butt to get them out.

It seems that this problem is more common with cars in warm, moist areas: Texas, Florida, Louisiana etc. I don't think Germany gets warm and moist very often.

If you live in Texas and want your A/C to be all that it can be, the DIY repair should make a big difference.

Member Meir Schwartz did an excellent write up on replacing the foam. Replacing the foam looks about as easy as replacing the piston rings.

Holy crap Batman. No way do I have patience to do that! I think I'll suffer with the foam shooting out.
