Sloppy eyeball vent

 Hi,

One of our centre eyeball vents has got the droop. It’s too slack and is forever pointing to the floor. Anyone know how to firm it up please?

I’ve seen a fix somewhere - do a search on this and other sites.  I think it simply involves hoicking it out, (method covered in those posts) and sticking a bit of cloth round the edge - or was it just bending out a sping clip a bit…

 

 

 

 

too much wine, too old, too tired…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT I’M OUT FOR A BLAST TOMORROW!

 Hey thanks for that. [:)]

 

Pity we recently fitted some nice chrome vent rings though, might make removal of the balls a bit tricky if I’m not to damage them.

I used the fluffy side of a velcro, just moved the ball to it’s extreme and stuck a bit on. Does not show if you don’t have the vents too far.

 

I’m agog! Too far where?

Sounds like a good tip - so you don’t need to remove the ball - just turn it right around, stick a bit on then turn it back straight again?

 

left or right, top or bottom. I just keep them central, look nice like that :slight_smile:
