...parts store called Lordco in Vancouver, BC (Winter Olympics 2010 rah rah rah... yeah whatever). They look like a pretty standard item. They were on a display board with a whole bunch of sizes and the manufacturer name was Dynamex or something similar. They cost me Cdn$.17/each and work great.
You pop the vent off gently with a flat head screwdriver. There is an upper and lower spindle that the vent snaps into. Put the washer on either top or bottom spindle. Sometimes you may need to use two o-rings, one for top and bottom if the vent has a lot of play. Be careful snapping the vent back in place as the o-ring may pop off and fall part ways into the vent ducting.
When I think how long I put up with these floppy vents...WHY I OUTTA!?!?
Anyway, I've never seen/heard of these 'wavy' washers and springs that Ed S mentioned. Makes me think what else was changed/lost/removed since the car rolled off the showroom floor? I like the dishwasher idea though...gonna run mine though scrub wash setting!
Ciao!
Norm
