This genuine OEM Kia passenger-side left front dashboard heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) side air louver nozzle mounts directly into the outboard dashboard fascia panel profile. Sourced from original vehicle cabin layouts, this assembly coordinates internal air directional control vectors via integrated multi-way slat adjustments. Replacing a sticky, jammed, sun-faded, or broken vent piece restores proper airflow deflection mechanics, improves climate cooling/heating inside the vehicle cabin, and fixes loose interior styling rattle paths.

This genuine factory-stamped interior ventilation module paths natively into the dashboard electrical infrastructure layouts of the specific vehicle builds detailed below:

• Kia Sportage MK4 Crossover SUV Platforms (Chassis Code Series: QL / QLE Runs): 1, 2, 3, 4, KX-5, KX-7, KX-Line, Vision, Edition, Wave, GT-Line, and HSE trims running 1.6 GDI, 1.6 T-GDI, 2.0L petrol, alongside 1.7 CRDi and 2.0 CRDi turbodiesel engine variations (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022)

• Removal Precaution: Prior to extracting your broken side vent nozzle, use a non-marring wide plastic trim wedge tool pushed carefully behind the bezel margins to unseat the internal frame retaining spring clips. Do not pry with sharp steel flathead tools or screwdrivers, which will easily gouge your soft vinyl dashboard surfaces or shear off the thin plastic trim tabs molded into your outer fascia.
• Air Duct Alignment Note: When pressing your replacement nozzle back into its dashboard mounting structural slot, double-check that the rear accordion tube receiver tracks squarely over the main underlying heater plastic sub-box ducting lip. An unseated or loose rear connection path will dump forced hot/cold air out behind the internal dashboard cluster cavity rather than blowing clean air out of the grille vanes.
• Used Cosmetic Condition Note: Sourced from an accident-free, clean salvage vehicle interior cabin layout, this plastic component has been thoroughly hand-washed, detailed, and bench-inspected. The directional shutter blades move cleanly across all pivot pins, the velocity roller shut-off flap isolates perfectly under tension, and the primary finish looks outstanding. Expect normal minimal storage scuffs or minor faint hair dust marks from warehouse shelf storage; adjacent dashboard fascia trim plates or fixing screws are not included.
