Vauxhall Corsa D Air Vent Dashboard Chrome Ring and Chrome Tab 2006-2014
Vauxhall Corsa D Air Vent Dashboard Chrome Ring and Chrome Tab 2006-2014
Vauxhall Corsa D Dashboard Air Vent — Chrome Ring & Chrome Adjuster Tab
A used circular dashboard heater / air-conditioning vent for the Vauxhall Corsa D generation. Supplied as the photographed vent assembly only.
The supplied photographs do not show a readable moulded part number, and registration year alone is not enough at model-year change points. Compare the ring colour, adjuster tab, diameter, rear honeycomb, retaining lugs and the number moulded into your original vent. For a definitive check, send your full 17-character VIN and a clear photograph of the vent being replaced through eBay Messages before ordering.

Where This Part Fits & What It Controls
Dashboard location reference: 2012 Corsa D facelift interior. Trim colour in the reference photograph differs from the item offered. Photograph by Ecogarf, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0; position markers added by ThePartPilot.
Function
Directs cabin HVAC airflow up/down and left/right. The lower control allows local airflow to be reduced or shut off, depending on the original vent design.
Location
Fits a circular aperture in the front dashboard. The same style may be used in a centre or outer position, but the buyer must compare the rear lugs and original part number.
Not an electrical control
This vent does not control blower speed, cabin temperature, air-conditioning operation or the heater control module. It only directs and locally restricts airflow.
Construction
Moulded automotive thermoplastic body with a chrome-effect / matt-metallic decorative finish. The exact polymer grade is not visible in the supplied photographs.

Compatibility & Exclusion Table
The vent is not engine-dependent, but the dashboard finish, model-year build range and moulded part number matter. A VIN check remains the final authority.
| Vehicle | Years / body | Status | Critical checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Corsa D / Mk3 / S07 hatchback | 2006–2014 production range 3-door and 5-door Petrol or diesel |
Compatible design | Match chrome-effect ring, chrome adjuster tab, circular body, rear honeycomb, locating lugs and moulded number. Verify VIN around build changes. |
| Opel Corsa D | 2006–2014 3-door and 5-door |
Check first | Opel-badged vehicles share the Corsa D platform, but the original part number and trim finish must match. Left-/right-hand-drive dashboard specification should be checked by VIN. |
| Vauxhall Corsavan D | Corsa D-based van | Not confirmed | Do not order from shape alone. Supply VIN and original vent photographs for verification. |
| Vauxhall Adam | 2013 onward | Not confirmed | Some Adam vents look similar and share certain catalogue families, but fitment of this photographed item is not confirmed without its moulded number and the buyer's VIN. |
| Vauxhall Corsa C / Mk2 | 2000–2006 | Will not fit | Different dashboard and vent design. |
| Vauxhall Corsa E / Mk4 | 2014–2019 | Will not fit | Different dashboard generation. A 2014 registration can be late Corsa D or Corsa E—VIN/model generation must be checked. |
| Vauxhall Corsa F | 2019 onward | Will not fit | Completely different interior system. |
| Corsa D with a different colour or mounting arrangement | Any year | Not a visual match | Do not order when the original has black, coloured, gloss, contrasting or structurally different ring/tab/lugs unless you intentionally accept the appearance difference and the moulding number cross-matches. |
Part Number Evidence — Read Before Ordering
A readable number is not visible on the front, side or rear photographs. It would be unsafe to advertise one number as definitive.
Catalogue and market references connected with visually similar matt-chrome Corsa D vent assemblies include 13203702 → 13365425 → 13417366.

These are provided only as comparison references—not as a declaration that every number applies to this exact photographed part.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Dashboard Vent
Loose or broken vanes
Louvers drop, will not stay aimed, move unevenly or no longer move together.
Broken adjuster tab
The chrome tab is missing, detached, cracked or no longer transfers movement to the vanes.
Rattle or vibration
Damaged internal links or retaining points can create a dashboard rattle over rough roads.
Poor airflow direction
Air reaches the cabin but cannot be aimed toward the driver, passenger or side window.
Vent will not close
The local shut-off wheel or internal flap no longer controls airflow as intended.
Cosmetic damage
Peeling finish, deep scratches or a damaged surround can spoil the dashboard appearance.
Why Choose a Used Original-Manufacturer Part?
- Correct moulding geometry: factory-designed lug positions, diameter and duct engagement are more likely to match when the number and VIN are verified.
- Consistent operation: the original vane linkage and shut-off mechanism were designed for the dashboard aperture and airflow system.
- Interior finish: a matching used part can preserve the existing texture, sheen and ageing better than a low-cost universal copy.
- Lower environmental impact: reusing a serviceable component keeps material in circulation and reduces demand for a newly manufactured replacement.
- Potential saving: used recycled vehicle parts can cost substantially less than new parts; savings of up to 70% are possible on some parts and market prices, but are not guaranteed for every item.
Fitting Guide, Tools & Estimated Time
- Nylon trim-removal tools
- Masking tape or a soft trim protector
- Small precision flat screwdrivers / picks
- Torch, gloves and a clean cloth
Approximately 15–30 minutes for a competent fitter when the vent is accessible and no surrounding trim is damaged. Allow 0.25–0.50 labour hour. Corroded, distorted or previously repaired trim can increase the time.
- Switch off the ignition and remove the key. Protect the dashboard edge with masking tape or a soft cloth.
- Inspect the replacement and your original side-by-side before disturbing the dashboard. Confirm the ring/tab colour, rear lugs, body depth and moulded number.
- Use nylon trim tools to apply even, gentle pressure around the vent perimeter. Release the retaining tabs progressively—do not force one side or lever against a visible painted surface.
- Pull the old vent straight out once the retainers are free. Check the dashboard aperture and duct for broken clips or loose fragments.
- Align the replacement lugs with the aperture and press evenly until each retaining point seats.
- Test the vanes, adjuster tab and local airflow shut-off before driving.
