Little tree fo life.

 

ill stick with the little trees

 

That happened to me too! It only ate a tiny amount of the finish off of the vent though. Thank goodness too!

 

yeah i was pissed!!! it was like a 3x3 square

 

they will do the same thing to a table. my grandma had one of them on her dining room table. over night it leaked out and ate the finish away off of a 5x7" blob on the table

 

no good thats why i love my little blue tree!

 

Thanks for this thread. I went and checked mine after reading this. It was inside the armrest. Sure enough, it had spilled a little. No damage done yet thanks to this thread! I pretty much never go in the armrest so who knows how long it would have sat there.

 

im glad someone was helped from my post

 

That explanes the areas that look like melted plastic under the ebrake handle on my newly aquired, used cougar! lol makes sense now, I couldnt figure it out

 

I just do 2 short sprays of cologne, it lasts for weeks. The cougar still smells like Lucky after 3 years of sitting.

 

I did something similar in my dads old chevy crewcab. this was before they had dash vent air freshners, so I took one of the bricks out of those can type air freshners with the MDF looking stuff inside and shoved it in the vent. it melted the crap out of it and my dad was pretty P'd off.

I always use those little cheap gel stick thinks that mount in the air vents. they wer out quick but they look good and dont destroy anything. speaking of that, how do those work out with the weird little tripod things in cougar vents?

 

they dont... they only work if you plan on never turning or rotating the little tripod vent thing

 

that sucks, I love those things. any suggestions for a vent type air freshener that will work with coug vents? preferably something that doesnt look like it just escaped from Flash Gordon?

 

ahahaha thats one way of putting it, one that i found works is its called califorina breeze i think is just like the refresh liquid ones but its a gel and they all smell really good and i put the aligator looking mounting thing not actually on the vent but the gray vent shroud if you tilt the vent slightly back it works nicely

 

i dont bother with those gel fresheners. too messy and i dont have anywhere good to put them.. the little trees Strawberry scent. MMMMM lol

 

you just rub your butt and armpits on the seats for your own brand of freshening odor. we all know this. ALL OF US.

:cover:

 

I pee behind the seats.

 

I've seen the liquid ones ruin the vinyl dash in the cougar sucks it happened to you

 

I think before I get a little tree, I'll just get one of those dash crowns the NY taxi drivers love so much...

 

I have a little tree as well. I pull out my cup holder and hide it under the center counsel. Works great! smells great and you don't have some air freshener hanging around looking out of place.

I don't even clip up my garage door opener :rofl:

 

true, I keep damp-rid velcro'd under the passenger seat out of sight (my AC accidentally got deleted in "a race", :facepalm: )

but my main point is I like smell good stuff to blow out of my HVAC vents...

I wonder how hard it would be to take the vents out and put air fresheners behind there any time I needed to change the freshener?

do the vents pop out fairly easy?

 

You can take the dash cowel off fairly easily and chuck some air fresheners in the holes. I wouldn't want to shove air fresheners in them though, I wonder how hot it gets in there when you have the heat blasting? Plus I'd hate to have to take that all apart just to install some air fresheners.

 

I'll figure something out once I've got a car to play with.

can you get to the air distribution box easier? the one in the dash with the flapper thing?

maybe I could find something small enough to shove in through the vents and stick with double sided tape...

 

I either keep it in the door pockets or hang it off the seatbelt clip next to the seat.

 

I hang one off the coat hanger on the D side. Doesnt obstruct my view. Only problem with that plan is the kids take it down when they get in back.

 

I dont have kids, but I might as well with my drunk friends in the car...
