From the color of your trim, it looks like you and I have the same interior color code. The rear vent garnish needs to be replaced in whole because the positioning tabs are permanently installed... I ran into the same problem as you have last year.

Anyway, part # 83403-SJA-023ZB should get the job done for you if you're willing to install it yourself. I did in fact.

The cover looks like it goes on the door panel or the underside of the dash.

Someone made a thread about the rear vent replacement. Brinox, was that not you?

I had a thread for the glove box underside kick panel LED light:

https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...ve-box-911447/

I had to buy the entire kick panel in order to get the plastic clip thing to mount the replacement LED light into. In that same purchase I ordered the replacement vent outlet, and installed it myself. One of my local stealerships told me that those positioning clips can't be taken off without damaging the mounting mechanism, so the entire outlet cluster of vents and everything need to be replaced.

The installation isn't really that bad. You have to pry apart the side panels on the rear console and then remove 4 or 6 screws holding the vent outlet in place. Then you simply yank the outlet out and reverse the process to install the new one.

Question Replacing rear vent adjuster

I have recently purchased this part online and found number of instructions here but unfortunately none of them worked for me. They say that first I need to pull the seats facing panel back from the bottom and I feel mine is kind of stuck :-( Any suggestions, video tutorial..etc?
Thanks!
