HELP!!!! Something got stuck in floor A/C vent and it's driving me NUTS!
I have a child seat in the back of my 2004 TL so you can imagine the kind of crap that ends up on the floor despite my best efforts to keep my car clean...
Anyway, something small and perfectly spherical (about the size of a BB) has gotten into the A/C vent that is under the front passenger seat. It rolls loudly left and right, back and forth with whatever turn I make with the car. It's absolutely maddening. Once I isolated the sound, I tried everything I could to get it out:
- I've tried swerving left and right on an incline.
- I've tried jury-rigging a long "straw" from my Shop-Vac
- I've tried a roto-rooter grabber wire
- I've tried blowing in one side of the vent (there's two holes) with a powerful leaf blower
... Nothing.
Has anyone removed the passenger seat and taken apart the floor a/c assembly? Because taking it apart is next, unless anyone has a better idea.
(If this is a duplicate post, my apologies... I DID do a search...)
