Hi guys, strangely sponge pieces are coming from the
air conditioner grille.
Has anyone had this problem before? Where does this sponge come from? Can this be cleaned?

It came from my car last year too. By turning on the 4th stage fan, I took the sponges out with the power of the air. I guess the sponge coating on the air ducts comes off over time.

Hello, good evening, our 308 grandfather, the same sponge pieces are coming from the grills, I set the air conditioner to the last setting and tried a lot with tweezers, but it does not come anymore, but for 1 year, the sponge pieces got stuck and occasionally came out Wink

Sponges are used to prevent the air from escaping from the ventilation covers. Over time, these sponges begin to rot and crumble. With the effect of the fan, they are thrown out of the grill.
This means that you cannot direct the air completely over time. In the meantime, all the other covers are closed, only the covers that go to the windshield remain open. Other closed lapels are not fully closed because they do not have sponges or are deformed. Therefore, the blown air disperses inside. This reduces the blowing power. disperses outside.

How we can solve this problem? I didn't have this problem with my previous cars. Can we remove the dashboard and clean the air ducts?
