Well the screw driver trick in the manual is a crock IMHO: its almost impossible to get them out without damaging the vent blades (when trying to get some leverage with the screw driver) or snapping the tabs.

Really the only safe way I can think of is removing them by getting at the back of them (which means undoing the dash and rotating it enough to get at the vent).

Maybe others have a few tricks.

May i ask why you were removing an air vent if it was already in good condition?

I also want to remove my vents one day, when i get the time for my custom-sprayed interior! My 96 R33 vents appear to be quite brittle - i don't think i'd get them out without breaking them & replacing them... unless someone can offer some advice...

Well thats what im doing and I lernt my lesson also I think it would be good yo clean the blades as I have seen how dirty 15+ Years they are good clean air I was hoping they would be like the Side vents for the side windows they just puped out no probs
