    To replace the defrosting vents, the entire dashboard needs to be taken out and usually the vents are breaking because the leather is shrinking. It's a big job and perhaps requires the replacement of the leather. This is if i understood right .... Ricambi has them.

    That's a bummer to hear - I want to do this too. The leather on my dashboard has already been replaced, so shrinkage is not my issue...

    Here’s a write-up that should give you an idea of what's involved; it's posted in "360/430 DIY and Technical Threads" :

    I have some extra clips for the vents if you need them; Neither Ferrari nor Ricambi stock them.

    My dash was in need of new leather, so off to the trimmers it went, while it's away getting some love i set about making a few sets of new dash vents out of alloy i finally got them back from the paint shop today and wow!! they look awesome, i just need my dash to come back to me so i can fit these baby's. These will never go sticky or warp and once bolted firmly into place it's highly unlikely my leather will be able to lift away from around the vents, one more job ticked off the long list.

    Cheers
