Recirculation vent?
I'm trying to fix bad AC odor in the car. Instruction says spray into recirculation vent as well as fresh air intake. Fresh air intake was easy but I can't locate recirculation vent. I put recirculate mode on and put the fan to max to feel where air gets moved but was unable to find the vent. Does anyone know where its located?

diagram there indicates there's one on passenger side and driver's side.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT:
So if anyone is curious. I took the cabin filter out and inspected the blower motor housing. There really isn't any recirculate duct or vent. There is a big flap on top of the filter and blower motor housing that opens and closes according to the mode. So when the car is in recirculate mode, it just sucks the air behind glove box compartment.

I think you are looking at the output ducts. There is indeed a heater output in the foot-well on each side.
The intake is located above the cabin air filter, which is above the blower, on the right side. There doesn't seem to be any length of duct -- just a door on the side of the main intake duct. It's a PITA to get to. To see it you have to remove the glove box

You might just remove the cabin air filter, and squirt the spray into the hole.
