Re: Driver Air Vent

I'm having the same problem, on both sides with my fabia, and a weird squeaky rattle from under the steering column.
Any help would be great.

Re: Driver Air Vent

try using a credit card to get between the vent and the dash. once you have made the gap get a flat headed screwdriver (maybe a soft cloth over it) and gently pry the vent away. a bit of persuasive pulling and there you go. it just pops back in too. i had all mine out at the weekend to sort a rattle and its a 5 min job

Re: Driver Air Vent

You can tease a flat headed screwdriver in there without any need for "help". The dash rubber itself is quite flexible so just tease it out all round, then get in from underneath to get grip on the "bulk" of the vent unit as opposed to the fascia you see externally. Took all my vents out recently with just a screwdriver.
