Why did this show up my 2021 M3 Dashboard?

New for '21, it's a little pool noodle to let you know your ac is working.

Dunno, I'd just pull it out. Looks like a little piece of something that got dislodged in your hvac.

Do you have little kids? They'll stick all kinds of things in all sorts of places. You're lucky if you don't have to go to an ER to remove them. I'd call that lucky.

Looks like a piece of the foam that is under the dash, probably came loose and just came out the AC vents. Not a big deal.

look below.

Looks like you'll need to have your SC reattach part of that seal where the adhesive failed; hoping they won't just cut it off and hope you're not the wiser . . . .

The real question is will this failure ever get back to HQ for them to keep it from ever happening again. Given what I've seen with our repeat repairs on nine MS's since 2013, I think I expect far too much from Tesla's Quality process (which is obviously suboptimal).

At least it doesn't have teeth

Does anyone have any experience with disassembling it to this point in the photo? Is it relatively easy?

There's this annoying rattle inside mine and I already got denied by my SC to address it because they could not recreate it. But, I know exactly where it's at. I'm thinking if I can open mine up like in this photo I can figure out how to stop the rattling.

Pretty simple job by all accounts

thanks. After I posted that, I went to searching on youtube and found a few videos. It does seem simple enough that i'll try it out.

You figure it out? What type of glue was used?
