    VH when I first got my 69 one of the vents were broken and I was able to fix it.(wish I saved it to show you) I hope this will make sence. One of my tabs was broken and bolted on a "L" bracket to the tube part. The bracket was more like a "7". Then I used a bolt as a tension set to hold it down. The tension bolt pushes against the under the dash and pulls the vent down. When I did find new vents they didn't hold down as well as the one I fixed.
