Fitting a passenger air vent to an R32 - by AlexJ |
|
When my car turned up it had an ugly hole where the passenger side air vent should have been. The first plan was to get a scrap one. But after talking to Ron at R K Tuning I decided that a 10 year old bit of plastic would be pretty knackered if not already broken. So I ordered a nice new one from Nissan for £44+vat ouch. Two weeks later and here's the new bit order from my local Nissan garage; Nissan part no. 68761-01U00 (R32GTST TYPE M GREY TRIM)
Four tabs hold the assembly in place and to get the remains of the old one out you've got to pry up the two bottom tabs as you wiggle it out. Once the two tabs at the bottom are clear you can rotate the bottom edge of the assembly up, this dislodges the two tabs at the top which you can't get at with a screw driver.
Then you can curse the tiny broken bit of plastic that cost you 50 quid
The new one just pushes in snugly until the tabs click into place. Your not getting that out again without breaking it, so now's not the time to remember that you didn't take a photo of "before" to compare with the after! All done ahhhh!
(Nice work Alex, a great help to other owners :-) - cheers RonS) |
