    On my everday drivers CHANCE and BLUE the top vents are coming loose as well but also around them is starting to pop up a little; guess some super glue is in order for ME too.

    The plastic pieces that hold those vents in place break off in the exterme heat. I used gorilla glue and just glued it back on.

    I've seen ton's of the dashes lift up due to the heat/glue, and resulting in breaking the tab that holds the vent into place. We usually just replace them at the dealership, they're pretty cheap too if I remember correctly. Glue would work too I suppose lol.

    Nah ... No glue for me, just paid $12.99 tax incl. to local Dodge dealer and snap it in. Buy the way I don't know if anybody mention it but the "magic" word SRT gives you a better price in parts, at list according my local parts dpt (from 16-17$ down to $12.27+tax). I guess or speculate at this point - SRT group cars have different price brakets. Probably small token of appreciation form Chrysler for the higher prices of our cars (haha)

    I'm beginning to suspect the whole dash is loose and needs tightening up. I heard there are screws to do this, just a manage of finding them and having the tools.

    But they usually ask for the VIN, wonder If this still yields the same results?

    I get a discount no matter what for what I do for work. But who knows.
