a demister outlet formed in a crash pad, the demister outlet having an end face provided at an end thereof including an innermost periphery thereof;
a seal pad provided along an outer circumferential edge of the demister outlet; and
a restraint configured to guide defrost air toward the demister outlet and to prevent the seal pad from protruding toward the interior of the demister hose,
wherein the restraint includes both an outer branch and an inner branch which are provided at an end thereof, the inner branch being configured to correspond to the demister outlet and to have an outermost end face provided at an end thereof including an innermost periphery thereof, and
wherein the outermost end face of the inner branch is configured to abut the end face of the demister outlet, such that the innermost periphery of the outermost end face of the inner branch is substantially contiguous with the innermost periphery of the end face of the demister outlet, the innermost periphery of the outermost end face of the inner branch being a periphery closest to a central axis of the demister hose.
