I removed my air vent under the dash under the drivers side. I had to do some repair work on the cowl hoods that were leaking. Now several months later I am trying to put it back in place and for the life of me I cannot get the 3 bolts to line up with the 3 holes on the air vent. I tried moving it every which way it will go and no matter what I cant get it to work. It has the cable coming off of it to adjust the airflow and a "J" hook bolted to the back of it I am assuming to hold wiring from under the dash. I can get two bolts in but the third is at least half an inch off.
The bolts are attached to the car I am assuming spot welded in place so your suppose to run those bolts through the holes on the vent and then use nuts to tighten it....but cant get all 3 bolts through. PLEASE HELP...
