Bora Vents help.... Oh No not another
« on: 09 January 2013, 19:17 »
Apart from the obvious (Which i have tried for ages) of buying a full new set (All 3 Vents)

Could anyone point me in the right direction of somewhere/someone who sell or supply the slat/flap section for the passenger vent.  I have the full set in excellent condition, but the slats on the passenger have unfortunatley broke and one slat is missing.

I'd even buy just a passenger vent, searched eBay and all forums but to no avail

Thanks Guys

There not hard to take apart/put back together a tiny bit fiddly and fragile but perfectly do able they only real way you could repair it is find 1 with a nasty fascia bit but the slats/mechs are perfect

Yeah I know how they fit in with the pins on one side etc. but unfortunately there is a slat actually missing. Snapped of the side rails. :(
