Miniacs,

Anyone take apart their A/C vent? In the manual it says to remove the beauty ring, which I have done, then to "release air vent retaining clips." (for those with the Bentley Service manual it's page 640-12/13)

The one I want out is more like picture min64022. In the picture it looks like the "clips" just need to be pressed in one direction or another. I have tried both to no avail and assume there is a trick.

Can you imagine I did not get a call back from my local dealer about it..

Any takers?

Thanks and as always...happy motoring.

 

Thanks for all the replies! j.k In case the 50 of you were curious, the tabs go inward toward the adjuster ****, but MAN WHAT A PAIN IN THE @$$. (Dealer called me back the next day....when I was done.)

 

2. Thats the number of hours it took me to take this **** off. Thanks to this post I got it off. 👍👍

 

Yep, they're a real pain in the a$$ to get off. I took my two center ones out to clean them, but for the two side ones, I was so over it, I used some large bottle brushes and a vacuum and got about 90% of what taking them out would have done. Not worth the hassle, IMO.
