Default Chocolate on ventilated seats

Hi,

My cousin dropped some chocolate on the passenger seat of my 3IS and then sat on it. I have wiped the seat clean but the chocolate had already melted and gone inside the perforated holes for the seat ventilation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean this chocolate out out from the holes? You can see it and it must be blocking the airflow as well.

Thanks!

This happened to me before. It's not easy to clean but wait for it to dry and use vacuum cleaner hose and suck it out. Or some stubborn pieces I used sticky side of duct tape to pull out the chocolate.

I had something similar happen on my RX. Ended up using a toothpick to poke through the crud and then vacuumed the particles

Use a toothbrush with medium soft bristles and poke it through, then vacuum.
