R129 dash vent tabs needed

Does anyone know where I can locate any of the finger tabs that are used to direct the airflow found in the front of the dash vents? My local MB dealer tells me I need to purchase the entire vent assembly, which sounds crazy. My interior color is blue.

Have you been able to salvage the three plastic pieces that make up the adjustment tab? If so, find someone to cast new plastic parts and let me know. I'm missing one of the three.

Or is there anyone with a 3D printer to design a replacement part?

Hi Smcmark

I got the same issue with my R129, also I am starting a 3D printing business so it is the perfect match.

We have designed and printed these tabs and you can found it on our online store. Link below
https://www.t3dpc.com/tienda/Mercede...abs-p235416218

You have 2 options full plastic or plastic and resin on the web there are photos of it but in case you have any doubt just let us know.

We are also sending worldwide.

Best regards
Pol
