Technical Air Vent Part Broken **Please advise/help**

[fionathefiat500]

Does anyone know any one that would be able to fix this for me?

One part of the air vent of my Fiat 500 has broken off and I have glued it back together. But I now can’t get it back in place.

It’s really frustrating and I don’t want to try anymore incase I damage more parts of it.

The clip that holds each part has already detached itself from the other ones and it’s very fiddly as the gaps aren’t very wide.

This is what has come off.

Ive broken these before. They are easier to fix if you take the thing out but I think you should be able to flex it in the middle so it sits in the little holes. The knob that makes the slats go up and down also needs pushing into it which is why it’s easier to do with it out. May be worth you getting one on ebay. I may even have one.

Is it easy to remove?

You need to remove the white dash trim and the heater control panel under it, then just two screws and it pulls out.

Do you have a spare part at all?

I have the whole thing, but not spares.
