My Ride: 530i 2006 Jet Black w/tan leather. Premium package; Sport Package; Sat Radio
OK....i shouldn't have done it. I tried to pour coffee into my cup from a thermos while it set in my cub holder. Upon hitting a dip in the road, I ended up pouring some in the air vent right next to the cubholder.
I know....not too smart/bright!
Now when I turn on the air, it smells like coffee.
Any ideas on how to "clean" the vent duct????

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
To make you feel better...
My daughter was sick and she threw up big time in my car, got to the rear vent, the seats, you name it....
coffee isn't too bad, although it won't be fresh =P
just try to use a damp paper towel with the help of a toothbrush to try sneak into the recess area.
