OEM BMW E36 vent knobs are prone to cracking and breaking — leaving vents stuck and airflow impossible to adjust. This is one of the most common and annoying interior failures on aging E36 models.
To make matters worse: OEM replacement vents are either extremely expensive or no longer available, and BMW does not sell just the control knobs. You're normally forced to buy an entire vent assembly — if you can even find one.
Our Rendition Custom A/C Vent Control Knob Kit solves this problem. Built from industrial-grade SLS laser-sintered PA12 nylon for superior strength, heat resistance, and precision, these new knobs restore full function to your vents.
✅ Improved Design — we’ve upgraded the original fragile scroll wheel mechanism to a simple push-tab control. Just slide left or right — easier to use and far more durable than the OEM design.
✅ This kit covers:
- Driver-side left vent control
- Center vent airflow control
- Center vent temperature control
- Both passenger-side vent controls
