AC Vents
Need some help. I purchased new AC vents for the dash. Is there another part that keeps the AC vent ball from falling out the back? I have the outlet bezels but it looks like something should be on the back keeping the ball from falling out. Any takers?

Re: AC Vents
Once you install the dash part you put the ball in then there is a strip of foam that should go in it also to make the ball stay as you point it and not let it roll around inside the housing.

Re: AC Vents
Its actually a felt strip. I assume foam would tend to stick, or grab too much.

Re: AC Vents
I think the OP is referring to the piece that connects to the vent hose.
LMC calls it the "air outlet adapter" They look something like this

Re: AC Vents
Got a question. What is the order of the parts going together? When I took off the hose adapter everything fell out and I don't know where to attach the felt strip.
I believe the order is: - Dash A/C housing (Back facing up) - Felt strip installed to the bottom - A/C ball vent - Install another felt strip to the bottom where the adapter changes sizes - Assemble the hose adapter and the a/c housing into one unit Is this right?
