Anyone have this issue: the chrome on the center louver of the air vents is peeling, esp. the left one which I probably touch the most. Is that center louvered swivel part replaceable? Can figure out how it comes out...

Yes, it is replaceable. Mine is doing it too. You have to remove the dash-pad surrounding the vents first. You will need to remove the plastic trim that runs along the top of the textured dash-pad first. It just pulls off with a trim removal tool. This will expose the screws that hold the dash-pad on. The vents will come off with the pad. Then it's just a few screws that secure the vents to the pad. Very easy.

Here is a video showing how to remove lots of the interior trim.
