Default What is this in the air vents?
I'm in the middle of a center console refresh and I see on both of the footwell air vents there is a pile of stuff in there! Not sure if this is some special damping material, or it's just 28 years of crud that's built up, lol. Can I just clean this out?

Ahh, can we get replacements or use foam from local box stores to put back in there?

I'm sure that is official Porsche crud - don't you dare remove it!

Sorry, no chickens in there, lol.

Is there a replacement for the foam and is it really needed?

I'm often bad with visualization. Any body got a pic of what it's supposed to look like in there?
