Hood Vent Remove & Replace
Am I REALLY supposed to "pound out" the old vent? I've seen the Utube???
I'll brake a few of the nylon tabs, I'll crack/brake some fiberglass in the hood.
,17 GS CE #663 NO center line in Vent (non Z06)
I've go the over off, the clip "Tool", it seams impossible/timely to try to remove
each (10 clips) while hood is installed... Help.... Albany, NY

Do not yank, pull, jerk, tug, hit, strike, dynamite, bludgeon, slap, twist, thump, punch, knock, bang, cuff, smack, tap, spank, stroke, welt, karate chop, chisel, hammer, spindle, fold or mutilate on anything. It is easy as hell to get the vent out of the hood. Give me a minute to find the thread.

Pry the first spot a little to get some movement, then go to the next tab and pry a little, continue around the vent and by the time you get back to the first spot, the vent will probably fall off the hood into your hands. Work smarter; not harder.
