Default removing top vents in saph - how?!

after going through just about every other place to mount my gauges and deciding i don't like it i've decided to give the top dash vents a try. only problem there being that i can't get the damn things out!

i can pop the actual vents out and if you pull the ducting part then the bottom kinda swings out but the top feels quite well attatched!

there's gotta be a way because there's god knows how many ppl have gauges there but i don't wanna go breaking anything!

cheers in advance.

I'm assuming you have an early type dash board. There are two metal clips either side of the vent, I think I tugged mine gently and it came out. I know they are a complete arse to get back on though

pull out the bits and bobs like the clock & surround and get your hand up the back to remove the clips
