Anything magical about pulling and replacing far left/right dashboard vents?
Thanks!

No magic, just leverage. Utilize an appropriate plastic trim removal crowbar to leverage out the vent. The metal retaining clips may and most likely will fall out. No big deal, they are easily reinserted when the time comes for reinstall. Good luck!

Are you asking about the grills or the complete vent assembly? There are 4 plastic tabs on each side corner of the housing. They need to be compressed slightly to get the unit out of the hole. You can reach up from below and depress them with your fingers. Do one side of the housing at a time. Oh and slide the duct off before pulling the vent out.

Air vents tabs are all busted, need to replace. Nothing major, just don't want to bust everything out. Thanks for the help!
