Just wondering, on the 6th gens, is there some way to open up the vents in the middle above the climate controls. I'm asking because a piece of plastic about an inch in diameter fell in it; close to the size of a nickel or quarter(long story, not my fault though). And I want to take it out. If I left it in there, will that do anything to heating/cooling or cause any problems?

 

hmmmm ... you can get into the vents by popping off the radio trim pannel. there are three screws that hold it in. one behind the clock and two on the bottom. hopefully you'll beable to get what you dropped out of there.

 

you prolly don't need to get it out either, unless its rattling and driving you crazy leave it alone or wait till you change the radio or something. the more you take stuff apart the more likely you'll make it loose and prone to rattles.

i have had a quarter (25 cents!)in my steering wheel for almost 4 years and it still makes some noise, but I dont want to screw with the wheel so I jsut leave it there....

(your sig conufuses me, I dont know if you already got your mods or not, in any case)I am assuming that you didnt install your headunit yourself because if you did, then you would know how to take apart the console.

Anyways, you start with the two screws at the bottom of the entire console. Then there is a screw behind the clock. I suggest using dental floss or a flat head screw driver with a rag to pop the clock. With those screws out, you should be able to take apart the console.

 

How does my sig confuse you? I didn't say anything about having any of it yet? Didn't I say next projects? Oh well I decided to leave it since it's not making any noise.

 

Yeah, you're probably right. I asked a friend about it and he said you shouldn't have any problem unless there is some kind rattling or whatever. Otherwise I should leave it alone. Oh well, thanks.
