Hi all,

The bottom slat in my centre air vents has flopped flat!

The vent seemed to get stuck, and when I used a little more force on the vertical control, the bottom slat seems to have become detached.

From the limited view I have of the inside of the vent, I think that this could quite easily be repaired if I can remove the centre vent and screen surround from my Vectra but unfortunately I haven't a clue how to do this.

I've seen references to a thread on this subject that may have some instructions, but I've not managed to find it yet

Any help would be appreciated!

Many thanks,
Dave
