So I lost a two cent piece of plastic from the center vent

07 Liftback. When I took the dash apart to install cruise control, apparently a piece of plastic fell off the left center vent (under the speedo area). The little piece of plastic held the vent firmly in place, so while the vent still works, it wobbles around and sometimes pops out of place.

I tried to recreate it by cutting up a credit card, but failed. Is there any chance I can find this piece for sale by itself? The only thing I see online is the entire center vent assembly (part 55670a) for like $100.

Have you looked at a local automobile wrecking yard?

I fixed it with some floss :) Wrapped it around the tabs sticking out from the side of the vent to make them larger so they stayed in place.

Good suggestion though, thanks.

I had a similar problem; I spray painted the center vents, and the paint job went bad. So I needed a new "thingy". A post on /WTB lead to a new vent piece for $20, couldn't have been happier!!
