My 997 is Gen 1 (54 plate). Within 3 yrs of ownership (still only done 43K miles) the cabin air vents on driver side & centre broke in that the "side to side" movement of vanes isn't working. When in for service at OPC every 2 yrs they quote £200 to replace/repair and as they still allow air to come through I have declined their offer. Has anyone else had this issue & is there a cheaper fix? Are parts available & are they an easy DIY replace?

Broken Cabin Air vents

You need superglue and a whole lot of patience. Mine went on my Boxster and the C4S. It's a bit fiddly but with something like a spring hook you can pull the bit which attaches to the vane back into place. Practice it before using the glue or you will only have one shot. Somewhere on here was a post showing how to do it. You are supposed to be able to remove the vent, I tried on the Boxster and failed, hence doing it in situ. Hope you succeed :thumbs:

Well yes there is the fun factor but with my DIT skills I would end up with a vent permanently mounted somewhere on my body, :grin: :thumb:
