Question About the Air Vents

Ok, so on my Red Rolla S, the thing that redirects the air flow coming from the vent came out of both vents . My first instinct was to stick the handle thingys back in. Well, they went back on, but they are still loose . My 2 questions are this: 1-what are they called? and 2-how can I fix it?

If I am thinking of the right part, I have always called them air vent directors, but lord knows what the actual name is. Any pics so we can see what you're talking about -which exact part of the air vent director?

The little handle part with the chrome strip on it? It's the part that actually sticks out of the vent. I can get pictures up later this afternoon after my dr's appointment.

ok, so the actual "handle" came off. Super Glue should do. I've had that come off on some of my older cars before. Depends if it broke off or as others i've seen, came loose. If it just came loose, glue should do
