In this video I show how to remove repair disassemble ad reinstall the ac air vent
This a very involved task
Especially for the driver side vent
You must remove the instrument cluster surrounding bezel before you can remove the driver side air vent
All other air vents are removed as shown in the video
Passenger side vent is simply pryed out and pulled out
as for the centre vent u need a 'L' shaped pick tool so u can insert it into the allocated slots behind the rubber grommets and pull so the vent will pop out
once removed all air vents will be somewhat thesame in order to repair the tab , replace the louvres or even the front face plate
pay attention to how he vents are originally assembled , not to install therm wrong and cause them to work differently , or not swipe smoothly

    After trying to put mine back together for a while I came across this video. The issue I am having is the louvers seem to be different lengths, causing more or less pressure on the metal bracket and then the 3 louvers (top bottom middle) just fall out when it is back together because the other two are pushing so hard on the bracket that it pulls them out of the hole the belong in. Any help is appreciated.
