They sure look similar, and I would love to ditch the flimsy/broken VW "477" parts.

I did it just few weeks ago since mine were shot. They are direct swap (together with surrounding frames) and look much more robust.

I used the vents out of the 87 924S and put them in my 81, look much nicer, I also used the dash and center consule, with minor mods to make the heater control work.

These are from a late '82, so should be same as the flimsy 924S and early 944s..

Right side dash vent still mostly intact (this is what they look like just before falling apart) -


-and a right side vent (this is what they look like just after falling apart) -

That one got way more sun and UV because of the way the car is parked. It had a crack, I removed it to fix, and it disintegrated in my hands with each gentle touch.. Nice to know the early ones fit though. -But then again, I'd need one in brown.

-And a later version center vent still intact (obviously can't say the same for the dash itself) -

I had the ones like Smoothie posted ('83) but the ones from 944 were different, with fatter vanes.

Ok, I had that bassackwards then.
So for vents, I wound up with the earlier flimsy 477- stuff, and later 944- parts would be tougher..
