Center Dash Vent
How hard is it to change center dash vent. Mine has some broken pieces that cause the emergency flasher button to fall into the dash. It is a 2002 Convertible.

Need to remove the whole dash pad to get access to the bolts. No way to short cut it either. Not a hard job just a little time consuming. Plan on a couple hours at least. Good luck if you decide to tackle it.

........... As stated above. I have had my dash pad off so many times I can do it in under 30 minutes. It's really not that difficult

Here is another link o it. Remember to bag and tag all fasteners. If you need any parts try Marc at VetteNuts.net, a Forum vendor here.

Also, be very careful when taking of vents, and other plastic components. 11+ year old plastic tends to get brittle and break easily.
