Car Air Vent Redirector (Ford Focus '07)

thingiverse

My car's control knob for changing the blower vents between defrost, forward, or feet stopped working internally a while back, so now it's permanently stuck blowing in our faces. This is my solution to the problem. It works amazingly well and actually defogs/defrosts almost better than the old vents did, keeping my mom's feet nice and warm! This fix might only fit my car, a Ford Focus '07, but it could possibly work for other cars with a similarly shaped dash/vents. I decided to post this solution in case anyone finds it useful or wants to alter it to fit their car. Note: This is a rough first prototype that I'm not sure I'll have time to improve. The clips are kinda weird and rather hard to get back off, so that's probably the first thing I'd fix. I had to sand off the bumps on the clips because they made it too difficult to remove them. Without them, it's easier to take the clip back off. Be sure to sand those down. For now, this solution works well enough for me and I'm happy with it until this first print breaks.
