Below is how Simon Jones has modified his 2000 model Puma so that the glove box is now air conditioned as his '97 model was...... |
All Puma's have this panel. This panel on the underside of the roof of the
glove box. Open the glove box, on the top edge of the box you will see the catch where the lip locates when its closed. The catch is part of a plastic
panel (about the size of a pack of cards) which is held in place with a screw.
If you open the glove box you will see an insert held in place by one screw (97 model also had a removable clip in plate). This is where the lid catch
locates. Once you have removed the screw, tilt & pull the plastic panel towards you to remove it. You will see a plastic moulded pipe about 2cm long
on the back of this plate.
This is where the rubber pipe connected on the older models and fed cold air from the heater/ventilation unit into the
glove box.
Now for the other end of the pipe...
The rubber pipe (about 40cm long) connected to an outlet on the passenger side of the heater unit about 30cms up from the foot well at 90degress from
the unit in the centre of the car. 
On the side of the heater unit you can see an outlet. 
Unfortunately, Ford have not made the hole into the unit, so a little DIY is needed.

Below are further details provided by Colin Yamamoto. |
The part no. you need from Ford is 1014577 and description is
'hose glovebox cooling'. Cost is £4.18. You won't find it on the Puma
parts microfiche- it is only on the Fiesta's!
As far as drilling the hole into the heater unit, I couldn't see that the
physical unit had ever been changed so it should be safe to do so (unless
someone has any info to the contray). I think it would be a good idea to
run the air-con on full blast when drilling to avoid swarf getting into the vent
unit (and it also cools the drill tip!).
Come back later!!!!
