Irritating air vents!

Hi all,

My air vents are beginning to bug me! With the open/close dial thing (picture attached for those who don't know what I mean) , the two outermost ones are really loose now with the effect being they won't stay on the open bit and constantly shut themselves off. This means the two middle vents are blowing extra hard at me which is quite irritating 😂. An ideas on how to fix this?

    You can either simply replace the air vent (it'll cost and is a nuisance), OR get a very small piece of adhesive black velcro, wedge it into the rotational knob, and it'll cause a friction keeping the knob in place...

    They're a doddle to replace, you just need two small screwdrivers to push down the mounting lugs inside the vent and they slide right out.

    Cheap as chips too-
