My remedy for the issue was to gently pry out the pivot tabs and 're temper' them with heat from the heat gun I use to set heat shrink wire insulation. Tension restored, no shims required and no tabs snapped. Sent from my iPhone

But one big problem: You can get the little grills that direct the air but you CANNOT find the housing, either the late plastic or the early vinyl-wrapped metal ones to hold the little grills in place in the dash. If any one knows of a source I may be a customer. Vendors don't have
Roydon , If your only issue with your vents is that they are loose and fall out , I was able to fix that issue on a set I have by sliding a thin piece of metal ( or plastic , I forget which ) behind the plastic tabs that they swivel on help them engage the outer housing deeper and more securely . Caution is advised however since the tabs could conceivably be snapped off if they are bent out too far out . - Also keeping a stiff upper lip , :) , Jim Coyne them.

Dear Roydon,
Good news: yes the Pantera dash vent registers come from seventies Ford vehicles
Bad news: I can't remember if they were same vintage Thunderbirds or another model
Good news: someone else who knows the answer will see this.
Stiff upper lip, Chuck Engles

Hello, Anyone know if the heater vent registers were used in other cars (ford or italian). I need to get 3, mine always fall out when I apply the gas.
Thanks Roydon _______________________________________________
