I was planning to paint my air vent covers matt black, and was just wondering how to loosen them. This video came in a perfect moment preparing me for that job. On my Fiat Ducato it was same arrangement of screws and snap-on fasteners. Only additional step was to remove the plastic cup thing that was blocking access to the screw on the driver side (my european car have driver on the left hand side). Maybe others have same issue mirrored on right hand side. Anyhow, the other side on my car was exactly as described here, screw underneath and snap-on tap on the upper side. A hint: loosen the screw first, then the snap-on tap will very easily jump loose. And those two in the middle can be pulled straight off by applying some force.
Great top tip thank you. I’ve got a Motorhome and the air vents are silver and they reflect directly onto the windscreen when it’s bright, so there’s always a constant reflection, which is really annoying. I’m going to remove them and spray them matt black. Thanks again.
The tab/button attached to the grill popped off on my van. Do I need to take the whole unit out to clip it back in? Comes in 2 parts the front tab clips on the vertical grill and the other part clips on the back side of the vertical and horizontal grill if that makes sense.
@@2canadventure669 No worries I managed to fix it. Didn’t have to take the whole unit out I managed to remove the grill trim with a flathead driver then you can pop out the swivel grill then clip them back in.👍
