If the A/C vents in your 2013 Subaru Forester 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 Subaru Forester 2009-2013.
Parts are modeled in 3D CAD and proven against the actual A/C vent geometry before release.
Made from Nylon, selected for this 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 Subaru Forester 2009-2013.
Install
No vent removal in most cases; center the mechanism behind the louvers and slide the tab into place.
Material
High-strength Nylon.
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.

works great
Works great on 2014 Subaru Crosstrek and twice as thick as Factory ones.
Fantastic Product!
Shopping was easy, shipping was fast, and the product was exactly what I needed! I definitely would recommend this to anyone!
Fits Subaru Forester
My recent purchase of a pre-owned Subaru Forester had broken and missing tabs. Vent Tabs fit perfectly! And it takes seconds to install!
Great
Easy to install
Vent tabs
Fit pretty good. Can't tell they are after market at all. It's awesome that these are even a thing! Thank you
Just what I was looking for
This is a great product at a good price. I bought this hoping it would work and it did. My car is a 2015 model and they don’t have a replacement for that year. I flipped a coin and bought these thinking how much different can they be. The 2 outside tabs worked perfectly. The 2 inside needed a little tweaking but the work like a charm. I just had to nip the end that hooks to the actual ac vent about a quarter inch because it was too long. Everything is good now and I’m glad I took the chance. This was for a 2015 Subaru Impreza Sport Premium
Used for 2016 outback
Wasn’t sure if they would fit the 2016 but i decided to buy it and they worked ok
Does not fit
Your vent tabs do not fit my 2019 Subaru Forester but they are pretty close. So, I have purchased two of them mostly for the aesthetics in the car. Please work on a product that fits my 2019 Subaru Forester. Good company, good communication, fast shipping.
Looks amazing
The 2 middle vents I had to trim the tabs a little but they fit and work great! They look better than the originals. I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza and these work amazing, can’t find vent tabs anywhere else for my vehicle. These will fit all years and models of Subaru with minor trimming of the 2 pegs that reach into the vent to turn it side to side.
