2003 Honda Civic air vents don't stay put

Is anyone else having this problem? I own a 2003 Honda Civic LX and
when I turn my ac blower on high the air vents move to either one side
or the other, I can't get them to stay straight. Does anyone have any
ideas on how to fix this? Other than duct tape and bubble gum...?

Its under warrenty so take it back to your dealer and have them fix it. I have
a 2001 Honda LX and tried to duplicate your problem my vents remained in place
unless i moved them my self..

Good Luck

 

Used to have a 2001 2dr Civic LX (Canadian). I'm positive that mine wasn't
doing that even with the AC full blast.
My 2002 CR-V doesn't have this problem neither.
I'd suggest to head to your dealer and try on another same model Civic to
see if it is design issue or a problem with your car.

 

I have a 2003 Civic Si and I thought it was just me....but mine is doing it
as well. It doesn't really stay where you put it. I'll check it out at the
dealer on my next oil change.

 

This happened with my 94 Civic...although they migrated to blow air up when
the fan was on 3 or 4. I always imagined using some kind of stuff on the
pivot points that would increase friction, but I couldn't really think of
anything....

that's a great idea!!! I only wish my current car, an 87 accord had this
problem so I could put it to use.

 

My hybrid has the same problem. I was thinking it was designed this
way. Don't know why though.

loose tolerances. the ones in my 98 are ok, but they were made in the
phillippines, if that makes a difference.

 

Exactly the problem I have on my 94 civic as well. I though of
sticking some non-hardening modelling clay into the pivot points, but
haven't gotten around to it yet.

My Japan-built has poorer tolerance control than the Phillipines?
