Dashboard vents on the passenger side

[BuffUpdate]

If no one objects, I would appreciate some advice or assistance.

In 2010, I drove a Nissan Note E11 Visia.


I now realised that the technical data seems to indicate something different than what the specification for mine suggests.

According to Visia, the magic sliding back seat is not present. I am grateful to have it.

Also, I have dual boot boards, but they aren't working. Ugh.

Since my vehicle had what I believe to be the E11 facelift, I was curious if the E12 design brief was a component of that refresh.


The fact that my passenger side air vent is lacking a flap is the only reason I've just started to consider it.

This has been an eyesore for a long time, but I now want to get rid of it.

The flap is all I need; I have no intention of disassembling the dashboard to install a new vent.


That the flaps snap into place, most likely without tools.

I thought that would solve my problem.

However, after perusing eBay, I've seen that the E12 flaps match mine, whereas the E11 flaps don't.

I am not willing to spend about £20 on the entire unit if I can just get the one flap for £8 because I only need it.

I am therefore looking for a less expensive approach.

Now that we know all that, it's a Renault or Nissan.

Is anyone among you thinking that this would work as a flap replacement for mine?

Other Nissan cars with comparable prices have extremely similar styling.

The slightly increased costs of the notes are something I'm simply curious about.
If their sizes and styles are identical

It would be reasonable to do so on any manufacturing run.

It does resemble the circular vent on my E12.

Parts that were altered began in July of 2010. Thankfully, my 1.5-liter diesel engine, which was manufactured in March of 2010 and never equipped with a DPF, began to get one installed in July. At least for notes manufactured in Europe, this might be relevant to other Note variants starting in July 2010.
I have the floorboards, the storage tray for the passenger's belongings under the seat and the spare tyre and wheel; later models had the goop that was sprayed into a ruptured tyre.

Warm regards,

With a space saver, I guess I should consider myself fortunate.


For me, a flat tire might mean death or serious inconvenience because I rode motorcycles.

After the early 1990s, I started using puncture safe.

(I checked the tyres frequently, but obviously not frequently enough) It wasn't until the MOT pointed out the puncture that I realised I had one.

Thankfully, during my time spent riding a motorbike, I never experienced a slow blowout or rapid deflation when driving at high speeds.

One of the 125cc scooters I owned, though, did develop a flat tyre.

Noticing it was quite low as I was getting out of work.

Got home with the help of a borrowed pump that added air.

So I skipped waiting for eBay to ship the puncture safety product and instead got the RAC-approved gunk at the petrol station.

The few miles to work were a struggle.
I strongly advise against it.

What if that substance in the note boot is just as effective when you're stranded on a dark rural road at midnight? Eeek!

For serious drivers, genuine spare tires..
That is the advertisement campaign, there.Hey there!

Putting customer costs first is not cost-effective.

Now we're back to flap.

Does the van or any of its derivatives fit?

With the exception of the chrome surround that serves as the attachment to the dashboard, I am aware that the center and side vents on e12s are identical. Probably a lot of vehicles use the same basic vent assembly; the silver surrounds merely vary to match the shapes of the dashboards.
The one I took off my daughter's car could have numbers on it, so I could look for them.

I checked the air vent assembly's vent flap component and couldn't find any numbers on it. Comparing it to the E11 vents offered on eBay, the entire thing appears to be shorter.
I will upload a picture from my home computer later because my phone doesn't work for this.

[BuffUpdate]

Just to clarify, my main concern is whether or not the flaps are same.

If I can just slot one in and it works like a charm, without taking the dashboard out, then my problem is solved.
