Instrument Panel Registers

Register Louver Assembly

There are four register and louver assemblies in the instrument panel (04320). Two are located in the upper area of the glove compartment. The other two are located near the right and left edges of the instrument cluster.

The louvers in each of these registers are similar with a single adjusting knob provided to move the vertical vanes from side to side and the horizontal vanes up and down. The primary difference between the two types of register assemblies is length and mounting tabs. The registers near the instrument cluster have four mounting lugs and are shorter front to rear than those in the right hand portion of the instrument panel which have three mounting tabs.
