I drive a VW Tiguan 2014, and made the common mistake of popping my air-con vent fins off the plastic bar that holds them together. I followed instructions on removing the dashboard trim, but unfortunately the plastic bar has already fallen into the air-con ducting (photos attached, red circled). 2 questions:
1) Any chance I can disassemble this and try to recover the plastic bar? I assume the ducting leads to the air compressor?
2) If not, can I still safely turn on the air-con? Any chance the plastic bar has fallen into delicate areas of the compressor and may jam up if I turn it on?
Many thanks!
