AC vent broken.

I had a blade in one of my AC vents break and was wondering how to remove it properly without further damaging it. Here is the problem.

you have to remove the whole vent to be able to maybe glue it. It not easy as the went snaps in the ring in 2 sides. When i pulled them out to paint them in my car I have to use 2 small flat head screwdrivers. you have to be careful not to crack the ring. once i had it out i used some crazy glue and it worked like a champ. I filed a small groove in the ring so in the future i can stick the flat head screwdriver thru it and make it easier.
Here are some pics of the back of the vent so you get an idea of how it snaps.



If you look thru the vent you can see the snap areas. i tried doing it thru the vent ad i broke one of the fins. I ended up using the screwdriver in between the ring and the vent carefully
