Are threse the approx. 3 x2 adjustable flaps things in the dash? I have two sets. One black. But they are shaped slightly different (early vs late models)

both early and late style vents swap between all years, the only difference is the late style have a wheel that opens/closes that particular vent. i can't remember if the old ones cannot be closed or if you can adjust them all the way in one direction to close them.

i always have a hell of a time removing these things. there are some tiny plastic clips that are very easy to break.

I've found it easy to start on the top left corner with a small screwdriver working around the top until those clips let free, then it'll slide out. It's not too terrible once you get a feel for it, but yeah those are the ones I need, how much you want for them xirdneh?

the plastic gets brittle as it ages. I found it helps to use lots of Armorall as a lubricant (silicone spray might also work), and warm it carefully with a heat gun, than it comes out with less risk of breaking it.
