Anybody else got a problem with the plastic casing in the driver's side footwell?
Before I bought the car, I pointed out to the dealer that on the left side the vent had come away on one side. This was duly noted and fixed... or so I thought! Just noticed earlier (2 weeks later) it's come away again! It doesn't appear to be fastened to anything either?
Also gutted to find out rear left side door kick plate is broken :(
Bloody Fiat!
 
That happens in my car too.

Caused by standing on the Footrest on the left. It pulls the vent and clip out of its seating.

I usually just hit it until it goes back into place.

Don't use the footrest to push yourself back in your seat, or to stand onto when getting into the car.
 
So.. It's a footrest you can't put your feet on? Nice (y)
That's probably what it is because I do tend to push back when I get uncomfortable. I'll give it a good ol' whack and see what happens!
Thanks!

I can rest my size 12 on it OK, just can't push myself back in my seat.

When I asked my dealership why it flexes, I was told that there are ECUs in that area and you can't pad it out or nail it down without causing issue with the car.
