BMW upper dash defrost vent, OEM part number 9226011, also replaces 51459226011. This is a used genuine OEM left-side vent, directing conditioned air to the windshield to clear fog and frost. When this vent cracks or its internal flap fails, defrost performance degrades, leaving the windshield hazy in cold or humid conditions. A direct bolt-in replacement for the driver-side dash outlet on 2-Series and M2 models with turbocharged 2.0L or 3.0L engines.
