I don't know the answer but do you mean the vent on top of the dashboard in the centre, or to the right of the instrument cluster where you might install a boost gauge?

Otherwise, a Search in the troubleshooting/HowTo section might help.

Someone else (JKM) did mine for me but it's not difficult - Just needs care not to break anything.

Someone who knows will be along to tell you soon  :happy2:

I'm pretty sure it just pops straight out if you pull it carefully :) or give it some help with a trim removal tool

v2brett is spot on, pull fuse panel off (you need door open ) theres a slot midway up on the leading edge that allows you to get a screwdriver in.
then push vent out from behind  :happy2:
