[DeTomaso] Heater Vent Registers

Thu Jun 30 20:46:12 EDT 2016

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
