How to Fix these melted outer frames?

[PreseaLover]

Does anyone know if these melted sort of black AC Vent outer frames can be fixed with either carbon fiber wrapping or hydrography? I don't think these are removable though. Anyone came across these situations?

They are removable....just be careful and make sure you use an interior prying tool to pull it out...use cloth to minimize the damaga at pivot points.

Yes..they can be fixed..you just need to take it a place that does interiors, specifically places that do plastic welding, dashboard refurbishment, woodgrain printing.... They will probably put some filler and redo the surface and paint it....

are you sure it is removable? how sure?

98.5% sure  It is a housing for the vent...just that it might have a bit of a sealant/glue around it so it won't just come out easily. Its the same with almost 99% of all the cars of the era....My Corolla was the same. If it does have glue you will just have to put some glue back on again.

Yeah I spoke to a guy. He said lets apply some cataloy to the uneven surface and then paint it
