Hi MTI,

I hope I'm not being too pesky about this. I was able to snap off the duct from center console without a hitch. But when I try to pull it out, the rectangular duct attachment is too big to pass through because of a silver tube that gets hot after driving and the panel bracket.

What's the silver tube for? Is it OK to take it out? I'll take a picture of the area to give you an idea of my problem.
