Post

The vents are completely gone, rest of the dash is in good condition. Does anyone know where I can get it repaired?

Thanks.

do you mean the ones under the windscreen? If so a really easy fix;

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Thanks but it's too far gone for the vent kit, there's nothing to clip into. It needs to be repaired.

It was like it, when I bought the car. Can only think it got wet? The rest is in good condition. I have the dashboard out , because of an incorrect electric ps install ,so have checked it all over.

seeing as you already have it out and its fkd, I'd source a better replacement

Is it the fiberboard backing?  It can be repaired with Gorilla Glue, Popcicle Sticks, and a good coat of varnish.
For bendy places, Steel Screen Mesh can be used as well.

Sourcing a replacement is the best fix, but as the prices of them are through the roof be warned of sticker shock.
