I need to replace a broken diffuser vent, the little round one behind the toilet. Do you know where we can locate one?

Thanks Handy! I will check with them!
@Wildboating. I'll check through my photo archive for a pic. I can't get to the boat as it's in closed storage.
The vent is perfectly lined-up with the top edge of my toilet seat... LOL - actually it's not really funny at all! Anyway, if the diffusers (vent vanes) are in the open position and someone flips the toilet seat up fast, the movable vent piece usually gets knocked out onto the floor and I can snap it back into place. However, once it got knocked down inside the hose. Luckily, I was able to fish it out with some wire.
While looking at the whole vent - and seeing if I could move the friggin' thing - it looked to me as of the outside ring could be screwed-off to get at the hose. I didn't try because I was afraid that the hose might fall into the wall cavity.
If I decide to move the vent and the surface cap DOES actually screw off I'll find a way to attach a string to the hose so it can't call into the wall cavity.
I HAVE to come up with something, as the vent location is a constant source of aggravation.
@Wildboating, so I did have a picture of that "/$%?& A/C/Heating vent. As you can see the adjustable vanes line-up nicely to get wacked by the toilet seat lid which knocks them out of place. The picture doesn't give me the view I wanted of the main plastic ring but I believe it screws or pops off. I'll keep looking for better pictures. My future plan will be to move the vent if I can find a cover that looks o.e.m. or just have the glass guy come in and glass it over. BTW I did think of putting a rubber stop on the wall to stop the lid's travel but it would have to have been too long to miss the vanes, if open, and the toilet seat would barely have stayed up.
