Default Screen vents rattle

Is there a fix for the screen vents rattling against the glass?.,i have tried to remove them but they seem tight against the screen. I don't really want to jam a piece of cardboard in to shut it up. Many thanks. Anthony.

The problem is delamination of the dashboard. You may try to glue it but it's not an easy job. I did it, but still rattles a bit. I'll plan to insert a thin rubber stripe between the windscreen and the vents, I think it's the only way to fix it. Watch this video:

I inserted little rubber feet like this at each end to fend it off from the screen and dampen vibration. No rattle at all, and because its wedged way down in between the plastic and the screen and they are black, they aren't even visible unless you know to look for them.

I tried to glue mine but that did not work. My solution was a rubber hose, (10 mm outer diameter I think) that I pushed in between dash and windscreen. No rattles and nobody has noticed it.
