Foam in the A/C vents

[zman1858]

I have dark foam material that breaks apart nery easy in the A/C vents. I'm sure that it's from the front filter, just want to be sure...Am I correct

Hate to tell you but I would bet money you are wrong. I feel it is impossible for foam from the filter to get through the system as it would not be able to pass through the evaporator unless it was extremely small pieces. Most have speculated this over the years but once you look into the air system you'll see the evap would act as a screen and catch any such debris from the filter before it could get out your events.

Read my write up here on another project that proved to me where the foam REALLY comes from.

I had the same thing that happened to my 986. I took apart the vents and cleaned it out...and it was foam free..
