[urq] 83 urq - my center air vent is broken, open close level is there but loop in flap is broken.

[Todd Phenneger]

Steven,

You are correct that the color changed to Black.  85+ has Black Dashboards
so the CenterVents are Black also.

If there is a loop on the other side, why not just flip the vent over so it
lines up on the other side?

If worst comes to worst let me know as I'm sure I have one around somewhere.
BUT...I cant look for it for at least a month as I"m out of country.
