removing center air vents

[sheen]

I'm attempting to vinyl wrap some of my interior and have run into an issue with the center vents. I want to wrap the entire panel that surrounds the climate control/radio/clock & hazard button. I've tried everything to remove the directional flaps from the vents to allow easier wrapping and I can't seem to get it. Has anyone done this or know a trick to getting it off?

do you have that center trim piece removed? vents have to come out from back

It's a pain. And they come out from the back like Brad said. And they go in very tight. But there is like ummm what word am in looking for. Like a (valley) they go through or lock into place lol

if its a bit warm, not brittle, spread it some, pieces fall out.

They take some nudging to get out, and your best bet is to run your heater at full blast and then remove the radio/havc control panel.
