FIAT PUNTO MK2 188 2003-2010 LEFT PASSENGER DASH AIR VENT 735322763
FIAT PUNTO MK2 188 2003-2010 LEFT PASSENGER DASH AIR VENT 735322763
This component is the adjustable dashboard air outlet/diffuser positioned on the front passenger side of the dashboard on applicable right-hand-drive vehicles. It forms the visible end of the vehicle's heater, ventilation and air-conditioning ducting.
The diffuser allows the passenger to direct cabin airflow and, depending on its rotary position, restrict or open the air outlet. It does not generate heat or cold itself; conditioned air is produced by the vehicle HVAC system and delivered through the duct behind this vent.
Function: directs heater / ventilation / air-conditioning airflow.
Construction: moulded automotive interior plastic with integrated rotating diffuser.
Colour: black / dark charcoal; inspect photographs because used interior trim can vary slightly.

• Vent will no longer remain in the selected position
• Cracked outer bezel
• Broken retaining tabs or loose fit inside dashboard
• Damaged or scratched visible trim
• Rattling from a loose vent assembly
• Restricted ability to direct warm or cold air toward the passenger
• Previous trim damage during dashboard or audio work
A damaged outlet does not normally prevent the heater blower from producing airflow, but it can make airflow difficult to control and can leave the dashboard looking unfinished.

✓ Matching dashboard design and operating mechanism
✓ Re-uses an existing serviceable component instead of manufacturing another one
