    OEM Part name for air vent tab?

    I'm having a heck of a time finding these tabs in the OEM part catalog. Even the vent assembly eludes me. I can find the ducts, sensors, mounting hardware of all sorts... but the interior trim bits are a mystery.

    Any idea what Buick would call just the tabs on these vents?

    probably have to buy the whole vent grill piece to get them
    should be in interior trim panel section, dashboard trim, or clock

      I used to work for Honda and those tabs weren’t available separately. They were part of the vent assembly even if they could technically be removed. I’m willing to bet GM does the same thing.

      Honda would also hide parts under weird categories that aren’t exactly logical. So search parts categories like:
      HVAC, Heater, air conditioner, A/C, console, center console, dashboard, interior, chassis (yes this is weird but possible), cooling, trim, body, etc
      My feedback

        I still work for an international OE manufacturer, although we may have individual components for assemblies (in my case exterior lighting) only complete assemblies are available such as the complete vent pod assy in the picture.

          Bummer. I found some aftermarket options online, at least.

          Thanks for the help!
