Broken center vent controls

Hello everyone,,
i have noticed that one of my center vents below the nav screen was stuck in the up position (pointing towards roof) and when I tried to adjust it there was 0 tension it just kept going back into pointing towards the ceiling.

the little slider feels kind of loose and a small little piece was loose and fell behind the vent and I got it out with some tweezers.

Anyone deal with this or know if its an easy fix or does the entire vent have to be replaced (which seems to be both vents as a whole unit)

yep same happened here. A plastic piece on mine had broken so there was no putting it back together. I ordered a new vent assembly and popped it in. I think it was a little over $100 for the vent. This was for a PFL car though.

Try venttabs.com. I have a broken vent tab too, and bought a replacement tab on Amazon for a few bucks. Problem is, it is like the original so comes in multiple parts which I don't think is easy to put into place without removing the vent itself, which I haven't tried yet. The website above sells one piece replacements that just snap in place, but I haven't gotten around to trying those yet.
