air vent slats

[gman1974]

Hi Folks,

Anyone know if the slats on the air vents in the car can be replaced? as i have 2 broken ones. If so, how easy is it to do? and where can I buy them from?

As Always, Thanks for your help.

Yeah, you can replace them. The centre bit unclips from the frame, and you can see how the lever operates the slats. It can be taken apart by taking off the white plastic bit which holds all the slats in the same position, then replacing the slats. From memory, the slats are not separate items you can buy so best off to see if you can find another one with a couple of broken slats on Ebay (so you can use the good ones) or just get a whole unit.

Note though the slats are not the same lengths across all the vents. From memory the one on the far left and right of centre are the same, as are the far right one, and left of centre.
