Can anyone offer a hand?

Hey once again...

Having the GTI as my mothers daily runaround driving the kids places etc. We often offer lifts. Do the nice thing blah blah blah

Unfortunatly the kids she transports always seem to be wearing studded soccer boots...... Not sure who is to blame but it seems the rear vents in the centre console in the back have broken... Not the vent itsself. More the little silver clips ON BOTH vents. I took some rubbish pics with my phone and studied the console while driving to hostel yesterday and it seems I have not choice but to remove the cover... Cos I cant get those stupid things back in!

Will post pics in about 3 hours after I have written my English Exam....
Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance
Michael

The vent clips should be an easy thing to order from your local VW Stealers

Ok give a moment. The pics here should help.... This is what I'm talkin about...
The actual little silver thing that you use to turn the vents etc. They not broken. Just need to be clipped back in but not sure how...



And not sure how this slipped in....



Hope this makes sense. If anyone can help please shout.

No idea. Can you gain any clues from the ones in the dash?

[08micsta]

I know how it clips in. But the problem is to clip them in I think I'm going to have to take this (look at picture) off. How do i take this off?



Excuse the crappy Microsoft Paint highlighting but what I did in black needs to come off so I can get into the vents and clip it in.... im makng this sound so complicated. I just wanna know how you take whats highlighted in black off. I looked at it and cant seem to see how...

Sorry about the wait. Things hectic over here.
