Upper A/C Vent Replacements?

[JedIEG]

Anyone know of an off the shelf vent that will plug into the upper A/C vents for our cars? Mine are toast; They don't stay open, fins pop out and my wife keeps mentioning them when we are out for a drive.
This is the closest I have found, but the are going to be undersized.

post a WTB add,I bought a set for my challenger and was happy with them.

I saw a video posted somewhere on FBBO about how to rebuild them.

 

[JedIEG]

Yeah I already rebuilt vents I have from two sets. They are 50 years old and are pretty warped and brittle from age and heat. Just wondering if anyone found an aftermaket set that fits well.

Don't know if anyone is making them but 70-4 E body and 72-80 trucks use the same vents.

For my 73 charger, i ordered Vintage air part number 49057-vul and they fit like a charm.

Something doesn't look right about those.

Do the OEM's have a box around the outside?

I did a search and couldn't find what you were describing. Do you have a link?

 

[YY1]

I wish. I need to do mine.

No, but these are not OEM. They are Vintage Air and look pretty clean. WYSIWYG

I handn't looked at this thread for a few days and just got the exact same Vintage Air vents today. Like you said, they fit like a cham-they plug in with no modifications other than pulling the pins the OE vents pivot on

. They arnt exactly the same as the OE vents, but its the next best thing, cheap, and way better looking and working than the warped and salvaged ones I have.

Here is the mockup on my spare pannell
