The 3rd Gen 4Runner Dash Vent Friction Shim is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by GKJNT562. The dash vents in my 1998 Toyota 4runner started to wobble and wouldn't hold their positions, so this is the piece that broke and was printed. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.

About this model

The dash vents in my 1998 Toyota 4runner started to wobble and wouldn't hold their positions, so this is the piece that broke and was printed. I printed mine out of PLA and they have not had any troubles working with the heater or the AC on. You might need to shave down the inside hole with a knife to make it fit snuggly, and I put the shim onto the car and then inserted the vents on top of it.
