Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Air vents

To replace the side air vents on a Volkswagen Polo, simply tilt the vent fully forward and grasp it. This will allow you to pull it out of its housing by pulling it towards you. Once the old vent is removed, you can install the new one by inserting it into its housing. It should simply click into place without being secured with any screws. This operation can then be repeated for the air vents on the opposite side.
