Replace broken AC/Heat vent

« on: December 17, 2010, 10:58:32 AM »
My left vent above my radio is broken on the Cabrio, so the replacement came today.  Hooray!

Mark and I are trying to learn and do somethings ourselves, but we don't want to make bad things worse.  So, I thought I'd ask you guys first.

Is this just a pressure fit and we can insert a small screwdriver and pop out the old one and push the new one in it's place, or does the whole dash have to be removed and it inserted from behind?

Thanks very much.

Nope, no major dash disassembly required, just pop the old one out and replace it with the new one.

Got it in, thanks.  I just didn't want to do any damage.   ;D
