This center dashboard air outlet assembly integrates directly into the primary interior dash structural matrix of the following Volkswagen family platforms:

• Volkswagen Golf Mk6 Hatchback: 3-Door & 5-Door standard models spanning the model years (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013).
• Volkswagen Golf Mk6 Variants: Estate / Wagon trim packages utilizing the premium matching core dash fascia console layout (2009–2013).
• Volkswagen Golf High Performance: Golf GTI Mk6, Golf R, and GTD variants using identical dashboard structural layouts (2009–2013).
• Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet: Convertible variants built on the updated Mk6 interior console design architecture.

• Removal Precaution: Use wide, flat nylon non-marring pry wedges around the outer seam of the vent assembly shroud. Avoid narrow metal screwdrivers, which will immediately gouge the soft dash pad material or shatter the plastic retaining walls.
• Wiring Harness Step: Gently pull the vent forward to expose the rear wiring loom before fully ripping it out. The hazard light switch wiring connection is short and features a small locking squeeze clip that must be released.
• Louver Verification: Over years of climate changes, internal directional link rods can snap. This premium item has been completely hand-inspected to guarantee that all horizontal and vertical directional slats cycle completely without binding.
