So I usually don't let car wash place's clean my interior but 2 weeks ago I decided to go for it. After the cleaning everything looked good & clean. Well this weekend I happened to look in back seat from my drivers seat and noticed one of the vent k.n.o.b.s dangling off the actual vent. When I tried to reseat the k.n.o.b I noticed it was actually snapped off at the plastic tabs and the base was still in the vent. I checked the other k.n.o.b and that was broken too... I did some research and found out you can't buy the k.n.o.b.s separately. Any other suggestions?

I remember a member on here with that problem sometime last year in a similar situation. I think he found the part. Do a search on this forum.

Just did some searching, looks like it comes as one unit. Part: 58860-30060-C0

Thanks, thats what I found too. I wanted to know if anyone had any other suggestions before I pay 90+ for the part.

I'm not sure how they attach to the vent, but can you superglue that ish on there?

teezee1000

Nah, theres another piece (that broke off and is inside the vent) that controls
the left and right air flow. I saw a YT video of someone installing them yesterday, I'll see if he was able to get the ***** separately.

Thanks BC, I'll try the warranty route before I buy the assembly.

bclexus

You are very welcome! Good luck with it...

Well the dealership just quoted me $450 parts/labor to fix it....

bclexus

Wow! That doesn't seem right, but... You might try gluing the parts back on. Or, just adjust the fins straight out and forget about it...

Try DAP Rapid Fuse to bond the vent ***** back on in position. It's the best product of its kind on the market - strongly bonds (fuses) anything...and quickly. It absolutely works!

Yea my lexus advisor told me to come in this weekend, it might be covered under warranty.... wish me luck
