I have purchased a 2004 x type 6 months ago. The demisting vents on the top of of the dashboard have buttons that hold the vents in place. One of these buttons has broken prongs that hold it in place. It is minor but I now have an annoying rattle. Does anybody know where I can replace the button, I have tried Jag dealers but to no avail.

 

You have no idea how many of those I installed 'back-in-the-day'.

Here is the TSB we got but the parts might be NLA by now?

C2S43948XXX and 49 (L/R) where xxx is the color code

Plugs are C2S44682XXX where xxx is color code. Replaces C2S36958. TSB attached

 

There are plenty of posts on this site regarding those pesky things. One recently mentioned an alternative part that was readily available, so a search may uncover that. Another I found showed how a rare earth magnet was epoxy glued to the underside of the vent and another one to the body of the car immediately underneath. I took that route and also glued the cover plug in with a rubberised glue so that (if necessary) I can take it out in the future. I have had no rattles ever since.

 

Thanks Bob, my x type is black, do you know if the dashtop is Mocha or not?
