Hi there! Long time reader, 1st time asker. I'm the proud owner of a 2002 Fiat Stilo 1.9 JTD, bought 2nd hand with a couple of things to do. Mechanical wise, the car is sound, just i tiny noise when switching gears (and abruptly pressing/releasing the accelerator, i can hear a *tock* *tock* noise) that my mechanic said is due to the gearbox differential worn and not that big of a deal. The thing is, yesterday, as i was trying the mend the infamous BOSCH FLAP ACTUATORS i caught a grasp of part of my main ventilation duct (i think) blowing air to an area that was not supposed to. The culprit: a broken piece of plastic that the previous owner broke when trying to remove the plastic panel on the passenger's side (the console part, on the right). I attached someone elses picture but i've drawn the thing that's broken (in red, pointed with an arrow). Since i'm not a mechanic but i'm kind of handy (i repair computers, laptops and so on for a living) is it hard to replace that part? I can see at least 3 screws but i cannot see the other side. Anyone has any idea on how to replace that broken piece? Is it a dash out job or not really? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: It's a left drive car, passenger's side is the right.
