removing air vents

[fastflyinaccord]

hey everybody, i got a question about removing the air vents on the top part of the dash. they are the small ones on either side of the car. i want to paint those- would it be easier to mask everything off or do those pop out easily with a screwdriver. i figured i would ask before i snapped them all to pieces with the screwdriver lol

im not sure but it looks like its stuck in there with only tabs on the sides of it. well thats how its like for the 2 vents on ur left and right side. the thing thats holding ur cruise control in.

if you don't mind me askin...why would you want to take those off?

he wants to paint them, and ill agree with lemon, they look stuck in there, masking them off could get messy

thats what i was thinkin that masking could be a pain. i know some guys have those painted so i was just wondering how they did it

the drivers side one is held in with two screws behind the coin tray. take those out, then it should come out.

idk about the passenger side one. i remember i tried to pop it out on my old accord once. maybe tomorrow ill take a look and let you know. haha.

maybe i will try to tape them off really carefully. any idea about the two on top of the dash in the corners of the windshield?

Dude don't tape them off. Pop them out carefully, even if you have to remove their bezel, they will come out just be careful. Use a flathead screwdriver and work it out. As for the plastic covers in top corners of dash, those pop out very very easily - they are just plastic covers. I wish they were real tweeter covers haha.

ok the small ones popped out fine. tomorrow i'm gonna try and pop the others out. there has to be somewhat of an easy way to get them out
