1985 Model Air Vent
The vent on my drivers side has a broken actuator arm. This is the arm that closes the vent and/or switches it over to the fan. Mine got stuck and i forced it and broke it. My vent now is always open, which really sucks in the winter. How do i take it out to fix the broken arm? Please don't tell me i have to pull the whole dash!

Ahh yes this does suck bad, the same thing happened to my car. So far I'm pretty sure the dash will have to be pulled out at least a little bit. I don't see any other way around it, that vent flap and arm is too big to get out with the dash bolted in.
Ray he's not talking about the colored vent, it's the flapper door and arm mechanism behind the vent.

Yeah that's what I've been doing lol, sometimes during driving it will fall back open. Do I carry a pencil in my console and just pull over on the side of the road, snap the vent out if the dash, stick the pencil in the hole and push the flapper back up, snap the vent back in the dash and head back on the road. I've been debating putting a black sock in there lol.
