Arrived home from a trip to town and as I was exiting the vehicle I noticed this part lying in the floor on the passenger side. I'm assuming it fell from under/inside the dashboard somewhere. Anyone familiar with this part. It's hollow and made from lightweight plastic. Maybe the A/C duct for the glove box? Anyway, I emailed a picture to my dealer and am waiting for a response.
To give an idea of the size... it's sitting on a 13" Macbook Pro.

 

Can't read the whole part number but would a search thru realOEM.com for that number be enlightening? Otherwise, my guess it's the dualflux waveguide from the pre-launch Time Warp actuator.

 

I believe its connected to the side of the seat or maybe the front of the seat where you adjust it. That's at least what it looks like.

EDIT: Now that I see you write that it's plastic maybe its not the lever Im thinking of.

 

This has happened before, it connects the glovebox to the cold air.

Thanks Hammerhands.

I had a feeling that was it when I examined the construction.

 

I thought it was an official MINI hash pipe. Oh well maybe next year.

 

 

LOL... this thread is funny and sad at the same time..

 

Mine fell out a little while ago too. Haven't gotten down there to refit it. Not sure I care if my glovebox is cold.

 

I had mine at the dealer yesterday for a checkup and they replaced the duct while I was there.

 

Why does the glove box need to be A/Cd?

 

Keeps my bologna sammich cool on a hot summer day?

The second gen had it too. I believe it was discontinued starting with the 2016 model.

 

Thats good. One less thing I have to worry about falling apart. It does suck my bologna sammich isn't going to stay cool though.
