Title: Bora Vents help.... Oh No not another
Post by: lowry_uk on 09 January 2013, 19:17

Apart from the obvious (Which i have tried for ages) of buying a full new set (All 3 Vents)

Could anyone point me in the right direction of somewhere/someone who sell or supply the slat/flap section for the passenger vent.  I have the full set in excellent condition, but the slats on the passenger have unfortunatley broke and one slat is missing.

I'd even buy just a passenger vent, searched eBay and all forums but to no avail

Thanks Guys

There not hard to take apart/put back together a tiny bit fiddly and fragile but perfectly do able they only real way you could repair it is find 1 with a nasty fascia bit but the slats/mechs are perfect

I have the middle flush vent for sale. Not 100% on this but the slats should be the same it's from a late spec Bora so it don't light up I was selling it as spears would not take a lot to lift it as its no good to me. And yes they can be fixed my friend does it all the time.

Know the middle golf vents are wider than the side ones. not sure about bora vents but would imagine there the same

the drivers side are the smallest then the 2 middle are slightly bigger and the passenger ones are the bigger out of the lot :)
