Here is a little mini DIY Thread for the Replacement of both the outboard HVAC dash vent that like to break. I'd suggest checking yours out to see if the flaps are broken.
Step 1
List of tools.
Plastic trim removal stick with the 90° angle so no marring of anything is possible unless your plus one chromosome. If thats case just STOP and let someone else takeover. This job on a 1-10 scale 1 being easy as pie.....10 being Rocket surgery... This is a 2 on its worst day. A Beer is optional here also....I prefer it....But do as you wish. A flash light may also be needed to see broken piece of the Vent in the HVAC housing.
Step 2
Use plastic trim stick and pry back the lip if the vent towards yourself. Then just shimmy it back and forth. It will pull right out.
Step 3
Inspect Vent....find out this awesome piece of Trashs economic engineering failure points. These are both sides also* found one piece in the duct down a little ways.
Step 4 install new Vents
They'll just push right in! Nice and easy...like watching your drunk large brother fall down like a symphony at the opera. I also removed the outer chrome Rings on the old vent for future idiots who could scuff up the new rings on the vents. They pop right off with some Finesse and the trim stick you just used.
Step 5 - Find old Childhood fully operational ULTIMATOR foam Rocket firing Bazooka. So... stoked to shoot this at squirrels in my yard! Drink my beer and let the Mayhem begin!
