the ones near the wiper arms - can you replace the foam insert or do you have to replace the whole piece including the frame? anyone know how much they are?

cowl vents, if the foam is degraded your dealer should replace the entire thing under warranty with the new foamless style vent

Based on reports from others on here, that's seconded.

The new type is much better.

Looks so much nicer too ... *wonders why his foam won't hurry up and wilt

take a scrubbing brush over the top of them to make them look perished

Tip:

Dealer probably won't replace any with the chrome trim stuck to them though!

Unless you can get it off without trace

Hat, just had my grills replaced yesterday under warranty, the new ones do not have any foam in, just plastic. I think they look fine, Damian.

Bloody big pieces of pollen would be needed to make those pollen filters!

How they ever got to be widely described as pollen filters I'll never know.

As said above, your dealer will change them for you FOC under warranty with the new foamless variety.
