Where to find the AC knob for the vents?

One of the little knobs/hinges came off my left vent for the ac/heater. I've looked everywhere, can this be bought separately? What's the proper name for it? Anyone know if I can find it online?

This is a picture for reference:

I doubt it could be bought separately. I think you would have to buy the whole A/C vent part (not sure if you know what I mean) that the knob is on. However, don't quote me on that.

try ebay or the "parting out" forum here for a much lower price

Or try Potomac German Auto, a major MB salvage yard. Better to call than try to use their online parts catalog, which seems oriented to major parts or equipment. http://www.pgauto.com/

Rondo,

It would help if you put your location in your signature block. There are folks on here from all corners.

Definitely your best option is to contact a "breaker yard". They will sell little misc pieces like that way sooner than a parts supplier.

I use one just outside of Sacramento, California on occassion.

Best of luck!
