Phil it was only on early cars. The drivers side vent (I believe) had a 1" or so dia outlet stubbed off it with a small paper/foil tube that connected to that vent.
I have a pic somewhere...ah found it!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

According to the 914 Restorer's Guide the center vent was deleted on the 72 and later cars.

QUOTE(maf914 @ Mar 16 2018, 05:50 AM)  According to the 914 Restorer's Guide the center vent was deleted on the 72 and later cars. I have a 1974 and it seems that the defrost does not defrost the windshield very well. It seems that it only defrost half the windshield and its not the half I need. I wonder if the earlier model 914 had the same problem with the center, left, and right vents. |

I always had better luck with cold air out the defrost vents and hot air down below.
It seems like the hot air just fogged the windshield up more. |
