Porsche 928 Leather Dashboard Ventilation Grille - Windshield Defog Vent Kit
Restore Proper Windshield Defogging and Interior Finish
The Porsche 928 leather dashboard is equipped with dedicated
ventilation grilles that direct airflow toward the windscreen to prevent
fogging and maintain clear visibility. These defog vents are essential
components of the climate control system and interior trim.
Fits:
- Porsche 928 4.5L 1978-82
- Porsche 928S 4.7L 1981-83
- Porsche 928S2 4.7L 1984-86
- Porsche 928S4 5.0L 1987-92
Diagram Ref No 2
Originally supplied by Porsche, this part is now NLA (No Longer Available) and often becomes brittle, cracked or damaged over time. This high-quality reproduction is identical in appearance and function to the original and is manufactured from similar durable plastic material.
The ventilation grille sits within the leather dashboard and allows heated or ambient air to flow directly onto the inside of the windshield.
Its function includes:
- Directing airflow to prevent windshield fogging
- Assisting with defrosting in cold conditions
- Supporting overall climate control efficiency
- Maintaining the clean factory appearance of the dashboard
Without a properly functioning defog vent grille, airflow can be restricted, reducing visibility and affecting interior aesthetics.
Why Porsche 928 Defog Vent Grilles Fail
After decades of heat exposure and UV radiation, original
928 dashboard vents commonly suffer from:
- Plastic cracking or splitting
- Warping due to sun exposure
- Brittleness from ageing materials
- Damage during dashboard reupholstery
- Broken mounting tabs
When restoring or reupholstering a leather dashboard, the original vent grille often cannot be reused due to its fragile condition.
Why You Should Upgrade
You should consider replacing your Porsche 928 dashboard
defog vent grille if:
- You are reupholstering or restoring the dashboard
- The original vent is cracked or faded
- Mounting points are broken
- Airflow to the windshield is reduced
- You want to restore factory-correct interior appearance
Replacing both left and right vent grilles is recommended for consistent fitment, colour matching and symmetrical interior presentation.
This reproduction part ensures:
- Correct airflow performance
- Clean integration into leather dashboards
- OEM-style fit and finish
- Long-term durability compared to aged originals
Perfect for concours restorations, full interior refurbishments or preventative replacement.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Direct replacement for NLA Porsche part
- Identical appearance to original design
- Manufactured from durable plastic material
- Restores windshield defog airflow
- Suitable for leather dashboard 928 models
- Recommended to replace both sides for best results
- Ideal for restoration and reupholstery projects

Porsche Air Vents & Grilles | Precision Airflow & Interior Comfort Control
Air vents and grilles are essential to your Porsche’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. They control the direction and flow of air within the cabin, ensuring balanced cooling, heating, and defrosting performance. Designed for precision and durability, these components also enhance your vehicle’s interior aesthetics while maintaining optimal airflow efficiency.
At Design911, we supply premium vents and grilles engineered to meet or exceed original design standards. Crafted from durable, heat-resistant materials with exact fitment, our products provide smooth directional control, quiet operation, and a refined cabin appearance.
Whether you’re restoring a classic Porsche interior or replacing worn or damaged components, our vents and grilles deliver dependable airflow management and perfect style integration.
What Do Air Vents & Grilles Do?
Vents and grilles play a key role in your Porsche’s climate control system by distributing air evenly throughout the cabin.
Core Functions:
Direct airflow for heating, cooling, and defrosting. Regulate air volume and direction via adjustable louvers. Provide ventilation to critical cabin zones. Protect HVAC components from debris and dust. Enhance interior styling and comfort.Properly functioning vents ensure consistent cabin temperatures and optimal air distribution from the HVAC system.
Why Do Air Vents & Grilles Fail or Wear Out?
Over time, vents and grilles can degrade due to exposure to sunlight, heat, and repeated use.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
- Broken or loose vent louvers and adjustment mechanisms.
- Fading or cracking from UV exposure.
- Dust or debris accumulation causing restricted airflow.
- Damaged vent tabs or clips affecting fitment.
- Interior wear or impact damage over years of use.
When vents become damaged or misaligned, airflow efficiency drops, leading to uneven heating, cooling, and ventilation performance.
Why Replace Your Porsche Air Vents & Grilles?
Replacing worn vents and grilles restores proper airflow direction and ensures a refreshed, premium cabin appearance. Upgraded or restored components improve climate control precision and prevent airflow loss.
Key Benefits:
- Restores accurate airflow control and distribution.
- Prevents air leaks and blocked vent paths.
- Enhances interior look and comfort.
- Improves HVAC system efficiency and responsiveness.
