how to make different center vents fit?
so i bought the vents that have the side adjuster wheel that allows you to close and open the vents. which would be beneficial to me since i have a flip out touch screen head unit. i'd like to turn off the vents in the middle so that the air is pushed out the sidevents.
but these vents i got from a member on here are just sligtly too wide for my 07 radio bezel...
do i need to get out the dremel and shave the sides of the vent openings (which would probably end up looking ugly) or do i need a bezel from an explorer or older ranger that had these wider center vents stock... ?

well ty I looked at what I got and I see what ya mean. a few options I see. 1 being u could widen the vent opening but I agree that would look like ****. u could also graft in a section from an explore bezel so u keep the airbag sensor in the bezel. this is prolly what I would try t make it still look like an newer bezel. last option would bto get an explorer bezel or an older ranger one but u lose the airbag sensor in the bezel. if you want to try blending in an explorer bezel I got a junk explorer one id send ya for price of shipping.

I'm not sure how Ford decided which radio bezels got the block off plates in the A/C and which ones didn't. I bought a Carbon Fiber radio bezel out of a Mazda pick up and was missing the A/C vents. I went home and grabbed a spare Ranger bezel I had and proceeded to swap the vents only to find out they were different. The Mazda was setup for block off plates the Ranger was not. I ended up grabbing a set of vents out an Explorer as I believe they all have block off plates in them.

There you go! So get us a pic of the vent shut off so we can actually offer some intelligent advice...
