  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

So one of the only issues my "new" 2015 Genesis has, is that the previous owner managed to break all 4 of the front air vent tabs and one of the rear. Anyone have a part number for these and a link? I'm sure they probably had those stupid vent air fresheners in them, I don't think people realize how easy it is to break those tiny plastic tabs off when using them that way.

The closest thing I've found on the internet are these: Amazon.com: Air Vent Outlet Clip Fit for W204 C200 C260 C300 GLK200 GLK300 GLK350 Front Air Vent Tab Clip Replacement: Automotive

I think they'll more than likely work, despite being for a MB, but wanted to see if anyone on here had a better idea before I ordered them and gave it a shot.

Thanks!

I haven't noticed it being a problem on the Genesis - but my wife has managed to "liberate" all but one on her 2014 Soul. I was thinking about trying some of these...

 




 
Also check some Pull it Part junk yards in your area. They generally charge anywhere from $3 to $10 for the vent

Thanks for all the recs. I think I'll take a gamble on the MB ones and give it a shot considering how cheap they are, my only real worry is that the slot is a little bigger than the louver on the vent but think I can figure out a way to fix that if so. If not, off to the junkyard I go.
