Triangular Dashboard Vent Popped Out!!

[Phillip]

As the title says, the small triangular dashboard vent cover (there is one of the top right and the top left of my dashboard) for my 2005 Ford T-Bird just popped out, and I cannot put it back in. There were three tabs at each point of the triangular-shaped vent cover, and two were broken. I guess the force of air through the vent cover must have caused the breakage, who knows!

Anyway, I did a quick search on google, and did not find anything.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Also, I assume that since this happened 2 1/2 years after I bought the car, it is covered under warranty, is that right?

Also, I assume that I can get the part from my local Ford dealership, and even if it is not covered under warranty, it probably only costs a few dollars, correct?

Strange thing to happen, but my Inca Gold 2005 Ford T-Bird has held up well over the past 2 1/2 years (18,500 miles on it, so I do drive it a lot).

The last time I posted here about 8 months ago, it was about my ordeal in replacing my air filter, and boy oh boy, it was an ordeal 'wrastling' with that air filter cover and finally getting it off, and then putting in a new air filter and having to wrastle with the air filter cover again to put it back on. Really a bad design by Ford on the location of the air filter (they practically cram it in the front right on the engine compartment, with no room to maneuver).
