heater foam a/k/a THE BLACK SNOW .....
With the coming of heating season, i have been using my heater quite a bit.
On the one hand, I am happily remembering how good the heater is especially as compared to my BMW.
On the other, I am now getting bathed in black foam bits. That was common before. New this year, however, is CHUNKS of black foam. They sometimes come through the vents, but more commonly, they are strained from the airflow by the vent grills.
The driver's side dash vent seems to be the worst.
I spend several minutes with a little hook and needle nose pliers. I retrieved much of the foam blocking the vent. At least the hissing has stopped.
So - is there a brilliant solution to this problem? The foam must be coming from somewhere and now there is a fair amount coming out.
Is there a suggested way to remove the foam from the vents? Fishing it out works, but is a nuisance.
When will this stop? I want to wear white shirts again.
