Through two summers of ownership my Boxster spit enough foam to make heater barely working... so finally did this center vent surgery.

With small hand though the cut out, both flaps were fairly accessible to tape up the holes, while positioning and pressing multiple tapes were a bit tedious. I used aluminum waterproof tape that seems solid and sticky enough for the job.

Now heat is back and I also know why AC was often too cold as little heat blends with chilled air. What an ingenious repair method!!!
