Rear air vent removal

[Beltram]

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help, the rear air vent on passenger side has been damaged and I'm trying to remove it so I can get in there and straighten up the flaps and wheel that's been pushed back but I can't find any info on how to remove it, does anyone know how please? Cheers

This might help. Hasn’t changed.
Use Plastic Trim tools or flat bladed, thin, screwdriver covered in tape.

Removing light/vent modules from shuttle roof

I am wary about pulling to hard and breaking something, so thought might be a good idea to ask the question first! :D I want to remove the two "modules" from my shuttle roof in order to regigg them a bit. Talking about the module that houses the air vents, courtesy lights and reading lights...

yes I have done this several times in order to install cables behind.

As suggested by Welshgas use plastic trim removal tool to gently prise in to the gap between the main trim and this panel. They are held in place with plastic 'clip' mouldings. Once you have the first released the rest will follow.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it, yes I saw this post when I did a search earlier but isn't very clear on how to do it

Here you go , I've popped mine out to show you , use a small cranked trim tool work the top out first, see the two steel spring clips , these release one at a time, hold the panel in position with a slight pressure towards yourself after the first one releases, then move to the second top one once those two are released the panel will come out , if you do need to release the bottom ones the are directly below the top.

In the last photos you can also see the screws mentioned in another thread.
