Left/Right dashboard vents/louvers

I'm having a problem with the left and right dashboard vents/louvers in my 1997 Boxster 2.5 (not the center vents). The small plastic strip with the teeth that fits behind and engages the louvers so that they all move together when the control louver is moved up and down keeps disengaging from the louver flaps. This is occuring on both sides, but primarily the driver side, leaving me with control of 2 to 3 louvers on the driver's side and about half the louvers on the passenger side. Is there a trick to fixing these so they stay fixed or is there an upgraded part that makes replacement a better option. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Patience is the trick. Mine were just as messed up when I aquired my used 986. I took the time to get them all spaced and connected with the vertical braces and they have stayed in place w/o an issue for 3 years.
