A/C Vent plastic replacement only

[Dathaeus]

My interior middle A/C vent, especially the left one, is busted, cannot control the air flow anymore. Do they sell JUST that part, and is it easy to pop out and replace? If i have to replace the whole middle piece thats fine as well.

You can find them on eBay or E46Fanatics under the classifieds. When I installed my Eonon unit getting those suckers out was a real PITA. The trim has to come off and theres two screws holding the bottom of the vents into place. What I found works great is using two plastic cards (such as credit cards or store membership cards) and push them in the top two corners, this will release the clips. Then pull the top out and wiggle the bottom using a flat screwdriver or plastic trim tool.

Mine seem to want to droop with time so they aim down. Is there a hack for this?
