Title: a/c vents
Post by: HP2 on March 18, 2017, 11:57:42 AM
How do the a/c vents come out of the dash? Do they screw in from behind or snap in from the front?

I'm so little help on AC, but I know Alan has done a bunch.  He should know.  :fingerscrossed:

Got em out, Had to take apart more of the dash than I had hoped.

Will need to post want ad for a couple of them. Once removed, I found cracks in them I hadn't noticed previously.

I remember reading that some C-Body vents will work also?

I can't remember if the vents are the same. I'm pretty sure the housing foe the dash if different though. There not cheap :crying: I'm have some extras that are good for parts I believe

I'm  going to try some epoxy on the rear of the vent housings to firm them up before reassembly.  Took em out to put a dash cap on, so this certainly isn't a show quality car.

I think I can repair the housing. I will need one of the  louver as the vertical slats are missing.

Thanks for the  offer Shoooter, parts may be just what I need. I'll try to get some pics put up soon.
