khnitz Posted August 27, 2025 Report Share Posted August 27, 2025 (edited) As I was detailing the interior of our 2009 Dodge Journey this weekend, I noticed that the vertical louvers of the passenger side HVAC vent was not moving in synch with the rotating wheel (at the bottom of the vent) to open and close them. The problem was that the arm that ties all the louvers together and then connects to the wheel had broken. I was able to source another one of those from a local u-pull yard. Here are some pictures of the disassembly and reassembly. I had to add a couple of small screws (I think they were left over from a Gameboy I took apart at some point to use for parts) to use to strengthen the pivot points on a couple of louvers. I also added new foam to seal the vent with it reinstalled. And here's a video of it all re-installed and working again. https://rumble.com/v6y5k0e-repaired-2009-dodge-journey-passenger-side-dash-hvac-vent.html Edited August 27, 2025 by khnitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
