    Is there any aftermarket maker of the defroster vents? I saw Ricambi's and they look like the factory ones, and given how crappy the factory ones are, I didn't want to go that route only to have them expand, crack, and pop out again. Mine have popped and cracked per usual.

    Do you have to remove the dash to install them? I am not sure how they exactly go in, but it looks like they screw in from the bottom?

    Thanks!

    DrivnXcitment, I had the same problem 2 years ago with my 05 F430 spider. I too used these aluminum vents made by Rizzo308. With his vents, you will never have to worry about the stickiness or worping of the vents again. Unfortunately, you will have to take the dash out to mount the vents. It's definitely worth the time and effort to change them out. Good luck!

    Another vote for Rizzo’s vents. Billet aluminum that look powder coated. The screws go down from the top and attach under the dash with a large area washer and a stop nut. You will have to remove the dash to replace the old vents.
