Removing right air vent HELP - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #4512 10 posts Started by slipgun
Im tryna paint my interior parts silver, I got out the center piece and left *driver side* vent just fine. The one on the right however wont budge! I tried pulling out the glove box to look for screws for it but I cant find any. Anyone else know what my problem is? I took two screwdrivers and tried to pull it out and I cant.
it appears to be the vent that doesnt come out not the plastic around the vent

u can get ot out you just gotta pullREALLY hard i had the same problem and finally i was just like **** it if it breaks oh well so i pulled as hard as i could it broke two pieces off but it still works fine
yup its just EXTREMLY hard to get out, it takes some prying and tugging, but it WILL come out. >biggrin.gif>

so if I fail at pulling it out it will break out, so either way just go till one of the two happens... got it thanks >tongue.gif>
I had the same problem, but all you have to do is pull strong from the bottom. when the bottom is free pull STRONG the upper side and u're done. don't worry about cracking, it will come without any crack!! >wink.gif> >wink.gif> >wink.gif>
>biggrin.gif> I pulled mines out and it cracked something in it, but its kewl, its just a little loose now, no biggy. It was well worth it though, cuz my interior came out tight
well... it came out... but its a lil messed up, lets just hope no one trys to move the vent >tongue.gif>
there is like 2 plastic tabs on the bottom and from what I have read, and experience, almost everyone breaks them... them seem to be useless.
You dont have to break the vent to get it out. Dont try and remove it from the outside by pulling on it. Take the glove box out and remove it from inside the dash by pushing it. I posted about this in another topic so do a search for it for more specific instructions on how I did it or Pm me.
