Default Air-duct fell from under the steering wheel

Heya guys,

I was driving around a '97 ES300 and suddenly some plastic air-duct fell onto my feet (see pic below). I don't really know where it came from or what's the purpose but I suspect it's a air-duct for AC to blow onto my feet. Anyone has any suggestion on how I should proceed about re-attaching this thing back? What kind of damage might be caused by driving without this thing in its place?

It's a vent man... It's not going to damage anything from not being there.
Lay the seat back, lay on it upside down & put the dang thing back up there LoL! it's just held in by some tabs.


A tip, if the tabs are broken, cut/drill a few holes in the lips that it connects too & use some zipties to put it back together.
Or plastic weld it with the same color ziptie.
Hell there's a thousand ways to do it LoL!
