    The AC vents are not guaranteed to be saved by being careful or using heat guns, its about chemistry of plastic and environmental conditions. Around here, about 1 out of 20 Prius in the junkyard have an AC vent that is in tact and the one i got was a 2005 so it didnt fit my 2007 without modification. One in particular I pulled out of the junk car, laid it down on the ground, turned around, and when i turned back it had cracked apart right there on the ground.

    You can get replacements pretty reasonable on Ebay these days .

    Are you talking about the vent itself or the molding around the vent?

    Yes, those. They are made from plastic that's about the thickness of a potato chip, and after enough years in the sun they are just as brittle.
