How to remove.......

flatfourburble · 05-01-2006, 21:28

How do the vents come out of the dash? I'm talking about the main front and side ones.

Jason do you know

I cant seem to find it when I've searched but I'm sure it's been covered before?

Thanks all

Mike

Cloth covered screwdriver (flat one)

They prise out - don't worry about the way the dash kind of compresses as you do it. For the middle one you need to disconnect the hazard switch once it's free.

Brill. I've been meaning to do this as the drivers side vent has stiffened up

flatfourburble · 06-01-2006, 17:03

Cheers Jason I thought you knew how to do it!!

Kind of been there, done that, got the "I stripped out a Fabia" T-shirt.

flatfourburble · 06-01-2006, 17:48

cool

well I'm off to strip a fabia tomorrow for some spares does the T-shirt come is small?

Thanks again

devonutopia · 06-01-2006, 18:43

WHAT fabia? Any more details? Kinda need some bits.

flatfourburble · 06-01-2006, 19:00

it's only a 1.4 I think which is a shame! But I'm always about breakers looking for bits let me know what your looking for and if I find something I'll give you a shout mate!

devonutopia · 06-01-2006, 20:13

Engine tray and sunvisors (light grey) mate, seriously!

See if they'll ship if I pay them direct? If you inspect first for damage, please?

flatfourburble · 06-01-2006, 23:24

It's a heavy frontal so I doubt the engine under tray will be any good, I'll check both for you and let you know. If they wont post them I'm sure if you want them I could sort you out

I'll give you a PM tomorrow

devonutopia · 06-01-2006, 23:31

OK - might be surprised with the engine tray as it shouldn't really suffer too much in a full frontal unless the car mounted whatever it hit.

But yeah the visors are a must as mine are FUBAR'd since the conversion - Need the clips in the roof intact mainly.

flatfourburble · 06-01-2006, 23:34

Ok no problems, if you want PM me your mobile and I'll give you a buzz when I'm there.

If you get this message before you go.... i'm after a leather gear k-nob if it happens to be an elegance

**VRStu** · 07-01-2006, 09:27

Mike you can also push the centre ones out from behind with the Radio removed. Might make it a bit easier if you find them stiff to get out.

flatfourburble · 07-01-2006, 10:15

cheers stu

Richard if it's got one I'll let you know, not sure if I have you number though.

devonutopia · 07-01-2006, 16:07

Thanks for the call Mike. Saved me some legwork mate.

flatfourburble · 08-01-2006, 13:27

Richard, no leather one I'm sorry to say. If you give me your mobile number if I see one I'll give you a buzz!

Jason, No problem at all! It was freezing cold, wet and snowing abit but I got it off in the end!
