DIY: VENT REMOVAL (ZAMFR01 did you a favor)
ZAMFR01 Did you a favor, since I had to fix my stupid antenna today, took some pics of the "vent" removal.
the vent and the controls...
simply pull the "vent" out from the top
after removal of the cover
T20 Torx screw to take the screw out
then the otherside
take a flathead to sorta "ply" the vent out from the tip, you will hear this kinda..click sound
and the otherside...
then the vent can be easily removed
done

It's one piece not two. When you rip it off like that it breaks a whole heap of tags.
1/ You release the inner stop bump with a flat screw driver and the vent rolls up to reveal the screw.
2/ You roll the vent down by releasing the other stop bump and then ease the whole part out
This published method is about 5 years old and totally outdated as a hack method.

I honestly dont know cuz I havent got to give it a try myself. I need to rip that ish apart to find that darn clicking stepper motor, but I really doubt that the structure of how all those panels are held on have changed much. On the other threads ive seen about doing this, I havent seen anyone say anything about the process differing from year to year of the vehicle.
it *should* work.
If not, you have got the hardest part completeded already (removing the vents).
Good luck, hope this helps.

ks for the link. at the point where it removes the panel around the gear shift, does that also work for 2005+ models?
