Volkswagen T4 Front Windshield Air Vent OEM 701819071 Left Side with Hexagon Grille by Fliperama Designs

IMPORTANT: This product is for the LEFT side only.
The RIGHT side is available separately in another listing.
A full SET containing both LEFT and RIGHT vents is also available as its own listing.

This left-side front windshield air vent is a direct-fit replacement for the Volkswagen T4 dashboard vent grille, designed for vehicles equipped with the standard (non-padded) dashboard. It replaces OEM part number 701819071 and is compatible with a wide range of T4 models from 1990 to 2003.

Designed by Fliperama Designs, this version improves upon the original factory part by integrating a durable hexagon grille structure. This pattern helps prevent coins, screws, clips, or other small objects from falling into the ventilation shaft, solving a long-standing issue common in daily-use T4 vehicles.

This part is manufactured using high-quality ASA, a premium-grade material known for its excellent performance in automotive interiors. ASA is highly resistant to ultraviolet light, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress, making it ideal for long-term use in dashboard components that are exposed to sunlight and cabin heat.

The vent fits without any modification. It uses the same clip geometry and footprint as the original part, making installation fast and straightforward. It is designed to match the dimensions and mounting points of the factory component while offering an updated and more practical structure.

This vent improves functionality and gives the dashboard a clean, modern look compared to the original slotted grille design.

Compatible VW T4 models (standard dashboard only):
– Volkswagen Transporter T4 (Panel Van, Crew Van, Kombi) – 1990 to 2003
– Volkswagen Caravelle T4 (Passenger Van, early trims without padded dash) – 1990 to approx. 1995
– Volkswagen Multivan T4 (Comfort Van, early variants) – 1990 to approx. 1995

Note: This part is not suitable for vehicles equipped with a padded dashboard (typically found in late-model Caravelle, Multivan, and EuroVan trims with passenger airbags). For those models, the correct OEM reference is 705819071.

Material matters: Many dashboard components fail prematurely because they are made from incorrect or unsuitable plastics. PLA and PETG, while widely used, are not appropriate for automotive interiors due to their low heat resistance and poor long-term stability. Even ABS, a common industrial plastic, becomes brittle with prolonged UV exposure.

Our windshield vents are manufactured using genuine, high-quality ASA from European suppliers. ASA is engineered for use in high-temperature, high-UV environments such as vehicle interiors. It retains its shape, colour, and strength over time even in summer sun.

When you buy from Fliperama, you're not just getting a replacement part. You're investing in a functional, durable upgrade engineered for daily use.

This is not a replica of the original part. It is a redesigned and improved solution that enhances usability and adds a modern aesthetic to the interior of your VW T4. Ideal for restorations, practical upgrades, or replacing damaged vents with a functional and durable alternative.
