My o/s side window demisting vent is broken and doesn't stay properly seated in the dash top. When I pull it out, I can see a pipe which it connects to which is clearly part 3 here: http://mfans2.com/parts/catalog/Z3-C...g/air_channel/.
Not sure what is supposed to hold the pipe in place but it does not appear to be secured and flaps around rather a lot. The n/s one seems more secure when I remove the n/s vent.
I am presuming that the vents to the windscreen and side windows are merely outlets for positive pressure inside the dash when the demisiter is selected.
Can anyone suggest what on earth the purpose of that pipe is, and how it is supposed to be secured? Is it perhaps designed to channel the air more effectively before it comes out of the vent?
I am thinking of pulling it out entirely.
Many thanks.
