Used Truck Dash Air Vents, HVAC Ducts & Cabin Air Intakes

Used truck dash air vents, HVAC ducts & cabin air intakes

Dash air vents, HVAC ducts and cabin air intake covers play a key role in driver comfort and visibility on modern heavy trucks. They direct warm and cool air from the heater and A/C unit towards the windscreen, side windows, driver and passenger, helping to keep the cab comfortable and the glass clear in all seasons. Fresh-air intake covers protect the cabin ventilation intake from rain, leaves and dirt while allowing correct airflow into the HVAC system.

In this category we offer used OEM dashboard air vents, HVAC ducts and cabin air intake covers removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include central and side dash vents for Mercedes-Benz Actros/Arocs MP4, centre dash air deflector vents for DAF XF106 Euro 6 and cabin fresh-air intake covers for modern European tractors and rigids.

What you will find in the Ducts & Vents category

Stock in the Ducts & Vents category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• dashboard air vents – centre, side and corner vents with adjustable louvers and shut-off wheels;
• defroster and demister ducts that direct air towards the windscreen and side windows;
• HVAC distribution ducts that route air from the heater / A/C box to different outlet positions in the cab;
• cabin fresh-air intake covers and upper intake panels mounted on the cab exterior;
• small interior trim pieces and bezels that surround dash vents or connect ducts together;
• other miscellaneous HVAC ducting components related to the Air Conditioning & Heating system.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details, so you can compare vent design, trim style, mounting clips and duct routing with the parts fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most ducts and vents in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF long-haul and distribution trucks, including XF106 Euro 6 dashboards;
• MAN TGS and TGX with various cab heights and dashboard layouts;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs MP3, MP4 and MP5 tractors and rigids;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage cabs;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components removed from complete trucks, each vent or duct is normally matched to a specific cab type, dashboard design, trim colour and heating/air conditioning system configuration.

Why dash vents & ducts matter

Well-functioning vents and ducts are important for:

• driver comfort – correctly positioned and adjustable vents help direct cool or warm air to the driver and passenger during long working days;
• clear visibility – intact demister ducts and windscreen vents help keep glass free from mist and condensation;
• noise & refinement – OEM ducts and vents are designed to minimise whistles, rattles and airflow noise in the cab;
• professional appearance – matching vents and trims keep the dashboard looking tidy, avoiding missing grills or broken louvers in front of customers and inspectors.

Typical reasons to replace ducts & vents

Common reasons to order parts from this category include:

• broken or missing louvers on dash vents that no longer direct airflow properly;
• damaged clips, bezels or mounting points after radio, switch or dashboard repairs;
• cracked or warped ducting causing air leaks, rattles or poor defrost performance;
• discoloured or heavily worn trims in older cabs where the rest of the interior has been refreshed;
• converting from non-original or improvised parts back to the correct OEM vents and ducts for the cab type and model year.

How to choose the correct vent or duct

To minimise fitting issues and ensure a good match to your cab interior, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and cab type – for example DAF XF106 Super Space Cab, MAN TGX XLX, Mercedes Actros MP4 StreamSpace, Volvo FH4 Globetrotter;
• dashboard layout and side (LH/RH) – centre, passenger or driver-side vent, and whether the truck is left- or right-hand drive;
• trim colour and finish – black/anthracite, grey or other colours, with or without chrome or silver accents;
• duct routing and shape – length, bends and mounting tabs must match your original part and the product photos;
• integrated features – shut-off wheels, illumination or additional switch apertures, if applicable;
• OEM part numbers moulded or printed on your existing vent or duct, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of your existing vents, ducts and dashboard. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM HVAC parts from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that HVAC, interior and air conditioning components can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove dashboard vents, ducts and intake covers, check them for cracks, broken clips and excessive wear, and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable parts are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
