Purpose and function in the interior system

The presented air vent grille has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R170 model as an element of the left dashboard segment. It is responsible for precisely directing air from the ventilation, heating, or air conditioning system towards the driver, which improves the ergonomics of using the vehicle in daily operation.

The placement on the left side of the vehicle allows for convenient adjustment of the airflow direction and intensity without taking your eyes off the road. The grille's construction is adapted to the factory air ducts, ensuring that airtightness and proper airflow are maintained.

Construction and dashboard fitment

The Mercedes SLK R170 Dashboard Air Vent Grille Left N/S Trim Nozzle is a component structurally integrated with the cockpit panel, which ensures an aesthetic fit with other interior components. The housing geometry and mounting points correspond to the original attachment points, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged or worn part without the need for modifications.

The arrangement of the louvers and the shape of the outlet duct have been selected to ensure an even distribution of the airflow in the driver's zone. Thanks to this, the air vent works in harmony with other elements from the Dashboard group, maintaining the consistent operation of the entire ventilation system.
