Has anybody had this issue before and fixed it on a 2g dash. It's very minor, but the only bad spot in my car. I want to fix it asap.

Carefully pull the plastic vent out, and epoxy it. Be sure to get some good weight on it to keep it flat. Better yet, you could remove the dash and then epoxy it. Use a couple of clamps to keep it together while the epoxy is drying.

Thanks for the help. Is there a certain way to remove the vent?
 
Double-Bubble epoxy. Alternately, use Q-Bond. Q-Bond is my new favorite, it fixes everything. I have grown to dislike Gorilla Glue over the years, you have to have an extremely clean surface for it to last, and it has a shitty coloring, becomes brittle over time.

I've had luck with a heat gun on interior panels. You definitely want to get a little heat on it. Otherwise you are going to have a loaded spring, waiting to pop back out.
