Having managed to source a replacement for my Yeti head restraint clip (here) I find that the two little "thumb wheels" that control the direction of air from the rear air vent have disappeared and I'm left with two little white nibs.

Any one else experienced this? Any idea where to get a replacement.

If you want to save your self the hustle of taking apart 10+year of plastic clip the oem code for the whole air outlet is 1Z08192039B9 founded here https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/1z08192039b9-rear-heating-outlet-genuine-part-14500.html

I bought a second-hand unit off eBay for our last Yeti but it still wasn't brilliant. Easy to replace though.

Well, it turns out that things weren't as broken as they first appeared to be, some helpful rear seat passenger had managed to force both dials beyond the natural stop (effectively reversing the thumb wheels) so with a bit of cajoling I managed to rotate them back as they should be.

So no need to replace the entire unit. Thanks for the others who made helpful suggestions
