hopefully this post will actually have how to remove the center a/c vent.

The dash is out of the car but I still can't get the vent out. Someone help please.

i screwed up my center vent by breaking some of the vanes and hope you find out how to remove yours so i can order a replacement without going to a "specialist".

I do know that the whole dash pad comes out and there are 3 screws that actually hold the vent to the dash but I still can't get it out

it may have some adhesive on it as well, did you try taking a razor blade really carefully running it around the edge of the vent housing?

Its wobbling around, it just won't come out

Gitusum

yea i would try a razor blade around it as it may be just holding on just enough to **** you off to why it will not come out

I finally figured out that if you flip the dash over (which i was scared to do before b/c I didn't want to damage it) there are 4 or 5 screws that hold the vents to the vent outlets, once I removed those the center vent slid right out.

For anyone skeptical about pulling your dash out its really not that hard, there is a very good right up i used, you can find it by searching "dashpad removal" or heads up display install" in the tech section.

Just don't break off a tab as I did yesterday, as they don't make these anymore. Ugh!!!

Maybe I need to go back to restoring 1st gen camaros. Heck, at least you can find anything you need for one of them!
