Step by Step Instructions

Can someone please provide me with detailed, step by step instructions on how to remove the driver and passenger side A/C vents without breaking them?

ahh this brings back some bad memories :rolleyes: well ive pulled a few out without braking them before, i used a small flathead screwdriver (eye glass ones) just REALAX and take your time going around the edges and clips untill they come out :smile: BUT im sure some other members have some safer ways

Thanks for the instructions. Anyone else with a different approach? Pics???? Where are the clips located on the vents?

4thgenerationcivic.com has the clothes hanger idea :)

do it when its warm, cold plastic is brittel :(

step one - buy new ones from dealer
step two a - use a big hammer and smash old ones out
step two b - if no big hammer is available, use big screw driver and pry out
step three - install new ones from dealer

hope that helps... if not use someone elses more logical idea :) hehe
i tend to break them when taking them out, always good to practice on a car thats not urs.... i.e. junkyard :)

I personally just got a flathead and pulled it out because the dash is vynal it wont break them if ur carfull....

ust a rag or something so you dont crack the dash (or have a chance of doing so) or scratch anything

Thanks for the info folks! I will do my best not to break them. Hope to go to a local junk yard to practice first.....

yeah i need help on that too. i tried on 1 and i broke it. im not even about to try the other one. ill just leave them black. i might try the screwdriver idea.

Do most of the prying near the curved part. It's thicker and harder to break.
