If the A/C vents in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL 500 are broken, loose, faded, or no longer controlling airflow, the dealer path usually means replacing the whole vent assembly. VentTabs keeps the fix focused on the small control tab, so the repair is simpler, less expensive, and usually tool-free.
Order the VentTab that matches your vent position, finish, and pack size. If the louver layout in your cabin looks different from the photos, send support a quick picture before checkout so the repair starts with the closest confirmed match.
Designed for Mercedes-Benz GL 500 2006-2011.
Parts are modeled in 3D CAD and proven against the actual A/C vent geometry before release.
Made from ABS or nylon selected for the specific vent design and finish.
VentTabs has spent years solving broken or missing automotive vent control tabs with protected repair designs.
The original vent controls can loosen, fade, or break off while the rest of the vent still works. This keeps the order, install, and support focused on the part drivers actually touch.
What stays protected
Original dashboard trim
Factory vent housing
Directional airflow control
Each supported vent can require a different tab design. Match the vehicle, vent position, and pack size before ordering. If the repair match is unclear, support can help verify the right next step.
Included
VentTab replacement in the selected pack size and location.
Fitment
Built for Mercedes-Benz GL 500 2006-2011.
Install
No vent removal in most cases; center the mechanism behind the louvers and slide the tab into place.
Material
High-strength ABS or nylon, depending on the vent design.
Watch the repair before you order.
Install flow
Line up the replacement with the louver blade where the original control tab snapped off.
Seat the VentTab on the correct blade, supporting the vent from behind if needed.
Run the vent through its range and confirm it holds the direction you set.

Browse all install resources
Step 01
Check all your vents for functionality. Use your year, make, and model to order the correct VentTab, then choose the right vent position and color when asked. Before installing, remove any remaining loose plastic so the replacement tab can seat cleanly.
Step 02
Begin by placing the VentTab on the correct louver blade. Keep the tab centered and line up the two VentTab forks so they straddle the vertical post.
Step 03
Press the VentTab into position until it locks onto the louver. You'll feel or hear a click when it's properly installed. You're done.

Perfect Fit and Simple to Install
Mercedes GL550
I have tried installing the vent clips with no success and I am pretty mechanically inclined.
Great product!
This product worked perfectly for my 2009 Mercedes Ml350. It takes a little patience to remove the vent and install, but it’s not hard to do and the results are perfect! This was my second purchase for this car. I bought two the first time and just one this time. At some point I guess I’ll have to buy one more!

I purchased the tab for my GL550. Dealer wanted $250 for a new vent. Took me 5 minutes to install the Venttab
Excellent Product and Service. Repeat Customer!
The service and products provided are excellent. This is the 2nd time I’ve ordered from Vent Tabs. First was for a 2008 BMW Z4, now for a 2009 Mercedes ML350. These tabs are incredible, and match OEM perfectly. You have a customer for life! Thanks again.
Great Product
Wish I had known of it sooner . Great fix…will use at our shop again when needed. See if you can come up with a great fix like that for sun visors
Simplicity!
Excellent - sometimes the best solution is the simplest! The Ventabs were so simple to use and looks exactly like the OEM part. And the vent hooks for hanging masks are the best option for hanging your mask in the car!
Great product, design, and material.
Works great, easy to install without taking the vent apart.
