yea over time, the interiror sprays can be messy and id advise to do it properly, i.e taking them out and doing it properly to get the best finish.

Tools: Philips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver.

first remove the air circulation covers. (switch and the plate behind) you will find 2 screws behind this, Take these out.
Remove the temperature and heater knob leaving the fan/ rear heated window switch in.
Next push the 2 vents down then apply even more pressure to pop them past there stop point (a flathead could be used but may cause damage), you can then remove these by pulling them firmly out.
Look inside to find 2 more screws ( these hold the whole panel in and the mfd ).
The whole thing should now pull out. There are another 2 screws on the back of the whole console item. Take these off then its a case of pulling the surround from the heaters. This is when you take the fan control switch out this will need to be squeezed together as its a sort of pronged clip?
And there you go! just do the reverse when putting it back together


Sorry for the explanation not up to date on actual components names lol
