Full Version: heater vent
anybody know where i can find them round vents, they seem to be hard to find here in new york
Ebay is the cheapest place to find them.
Check your local papers and salvage/junk yards to see if you can find a car that's being parted out and get the vents from that car. They're not that hard to remove since they're just held in by two "clips" on opposite sides from each other.
To remove them before I've used a dull hacksaw blade and just slide it inbetween the outside of the vent part that moves and the hole that it's in until I've found the clip then I angle the blade until the clip unlocks and then I pull that side of the vent slightly forward so it doesn't lock in place. Then while holding it I slide the blade around to the other side and unlock that clip while still pulling slightly forward on the vent. After that the vent just slide out into my hand.
Hope that helps some.

You're welcome for the removal help.
Since it sounds like there aren't many of our cars near you besides eBay I'd try on one of the bigger boards like LS1Tech in their for sale section to see if you can find a car being parted out on there.
