Jacob Ochs Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So my question is how to take the vents out of the dash so I can clean them better, I don't want to break them and want to know the proper way to remove them. That is all! Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicJeep24 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think they are plastic welded to the dash in the back so I don't believe you can remove them. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 There are two little tabs, one at each end that clip into the dash. I've had all mine out to clean and paint, I just slipped a small blade in at the top (or the side depending on the vent) and gently coaxed the tab forward. Once you have the top (side) tab out, the bottom comes right out. I was also able to adjust the tabs a bit to tighten them up by warming them up and holding the tab up (or down) until it cooled off. Worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked fine. ^^ This. Stick a small flat blade screwdriver on the top of the vent between the vent itself and the bezel. Gently push the vent pin tab down while pulling the vent out at the top. Once the top pin clears the bezel, lift the vent up and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
