   What can I say, I don't know my own strength
   
   Went to adjust the vents above the stereo to point at the Mrs (got to keep the women cosey) and it came straight out in my hand. It's gone back in, sort of, but the hinge pins at the base of it have pushed into the centre console so it's just resting in the hole rather than being clipped in.
   
   Anyone know how to refit it properly?

   yeh i had this
   i was taking my centre console apart anyway to make a ipod holder where the vents are so i fixed it then
   
   you just have to take the centre console off and then hit the little hinges back through (whene the air vent thingy is on the other side obviously
   its just a pin on each side, sometimes there stiff so give em a good tap, just not so hard that u break anything lol
   theres a tut on here somewhere on how to take the centre console apart if u need it, and make sure u remember to plug the heater controls and everything wires back in, i say this because i forgot to

   easy to solve once youve taken it out. you'll see the problem
   
   5 torx screws to take it off. 1 located next to the hazard switch, just prise the end one off, and same for the other side.
   
   2 just above the heater sliders, either side.
   
   1 located rite at the bottom in the middle
