Stupid Question But How Do I...

How Do I remove the vent that is under the hood and right against the windshield. If I had a pic i would show you what i mean. I tried pulling a little bit but it didn't see to pop the plastic clips out

Re: Re: Stupid Question But How Do I...

Did you pull the clips out, or are those what you are trying to remove? If it is the clips I think if you get a flathead screwdriver under there they should pop out but im really not sure. What year is the car? if it is an 03 or a 2000 I can find out for you.

Re: Stupid Question But How Do I...

OK I think where the wiper blades are screwed down at there is a retainer in there that Im not sure how to get out. I have never taken the wiper assembly off. I'll check mine out in the morning and then I'll let u know. But is there enough slack to lift the vent assembly up? If so see if there is something under there holding the wipers on.

Re: Stupid Question But How Do I...

On my 92 I just lift the wipers away from the windsheild as far as they go and there's a little tiny tab on each wiper arm that slides out and locks the arm up, and allows you to pull it straight off the post.
