I have the same problem on my 98- the little connector is missing on the driver side vent and each louver moves independently. I bought what I thought was the right replacement vent assembly on Ebay, but it came with a smooth finish and my original has a sort of pebbly finish. So I have taken the little connector bar out of the Ebay vent and would like to use it to repair my original vent.

After struggling for a couple of hours to install the connector bar through the back of the assembled vent I just could not get it. Now I would like to disassemble the vent as shown in this last post so I can get direct access to the louvers. As described here it is very difficult to disassemble. I have separated the exposed outer two tabs, but the two tabs that are buried under the flap mechanism just won't budge. I am afraid to apply too much force because I have a history of breaking parts.

Has anyone else had experience with this and is there a recommendation or trick to separate the two inner tabs?
