Plastic side vent has come off

Hi there

Today I found a small plastic vent in the passenger footwell of my Fiesta 2012 ecoboost. It is meant to be attached to the side of dashboard - you can only see it when you open the front door. I think they are blowers for the windscreen. Does anyone know how they are meant to be attached? It is not broken but I can't see any adhesive on the dashboard cutout where it was once attached. Is it ok to just glue them in because the drivers side one is loose.

Cheers

    id probably use some decent double sided tape and call it a day. If you glue it, itll be sod's law you need to get back in there!

    Good suggestion although I'm not sure I can do that as it's basically a hole with a vent covering it. I'll take another look at it.

    When I had the Fiesta it happened to me too. Just put it back and make sure it sits in it's place tight. Normally it should't come off.

    Hi B0D0

    I tried putting it back but it's so loose that it just falls out again even though it isn't broken. Bit odd!
