OK, so my driver side AC vent is looser than Paris Hilton, the one between the steering wheel and the door.

It seems that the slider-thingy that you use to adjust the direction of the air (left/right) is weighted towards the back. And there is not enough tension in the vent divider thingies where they attach to the stationary part of the console. So when I direct the air downward, it will stay for a second, but any movement in the car causes the weight of the slider-thingy to point the vent upward. It's a pain in the ass when I'm trying to warm my hand while it's on the steering wheel, and next thing I know I'm blow drying my hair.

Anyway, has anyone else had this problem?? what's the fix?

mine did that too....dealer tightened it (don't recall any replacement though)...but that was during the first few months of buying car

Dealer told me it was a whole new grey dash assembly. True or not, who knows?!

holy shit!! I thought I was the only one! I have the EXACT same problem. I put it facing in the middle to get towards my face...and the next day I come into my car, put on the air, and the damn vent is facing the fuckin roof? Do I just go to the dealer to have em fix it? Will I have to pay for that since I'm out of warranty?

That was the first thing I brought my car in for back in 2000...ahhhh, memories, when my car was so stock and so innocent.

Seconded. That's a weird thing to happen to so many people. I'm taking mine in next week for a whole hell of a lot of things, so I'll be adding that to the list.
As far as fixing it, I have no clue.

Well, when you ask them to fix it, ask them how they will go about it, then tell me Cuz my car is not under warranty anymore, and I'd like to do it myself if possible.

Mine does it too. I've just been dealing with it.

ccannizz11

I dealt with it for a little while, but now it won't even hold there for two seconds. Damnit

ccannizz11

Those of you who got it fixed at the dealer...

Any idea of what they did??
