[QUOTE="Strider, post: 282192, member: 314"] evil nick, that's a good one. thanks. here what i did sometime ago, you don't need to take out the aircond vent; 1. find your self 2 or 3 pieces A4 size hard plastic that they always use for binding a document. easily can get at any stationery or book shop. 2. cut it in circle with the same diameter as the side of the vent. (the width of the vent is the diameter of the vent). 3. cut a slot until to the centre of the circle (slightly larger than the side of the pivot that hold the vent. 4. Make a few pices of this and slot it in at the side of the vent (where evil nick paste the velour) if a single piece is not enough, push in a another piece. you can take it out or slot it in easily and any odd shape of the plastic that protruding out can be cut. 5. try to push the vent up and down until you satisfied with the friction. the concept are the same as evil nick, to create some friction on side of the vent. walla, your aircond vent are now hold firmly. p.s. hope it is easily can understand [/QUOTE]
