I am assuming the flap being controlled by the knob broke but wasn't sure if there was something more complicated with the vent system that I am not thinking of.
Any suggestions?
Also, to replace the passenger side vent, I am assuming I need to first remove the aluminum trim (wood for other models) on the dash in order to access the bolt holding down the vent?

Would the vent be repairable or should I start trying to locate a replacement?
Thanks!
It's a very easy job, you just have to pry/lever out the decorative strip (trim) and then it's just two screws, that's it. See picture:
