How to remove air vents?

[alx]

Hi. I'm trying to replace the central and driver's side air vents as mine are broken. I took out the stereo and had a look, but I can't see any obvious screws or anything to remove. Anyone know how to do this?

Does that mean I have to take the steering wheel off to get to them?

No it means you need a new dash with working vents mate
They are moulded into the dash and can't be replaced

I don't think they are - I've got a replacement set of vents that plug in behind the plastic surround. I can see they would fit if I could get the covers off. Do you mean there's no way to remove the cover to get to the vents without breaking the dash apart?

I thought the whole dash wash plastic welded together tbh mate

Iv got a spare dash off the car in the garage so il take a closer look after work tomorow

i'm sure the dash will need to come out for you to do this? if they are only accessible from behind? i have wrote a guide to this, which is stickied on here
someone may be able to confirm this though
