Have a look in the 'where the clips are' thread for pics on where the clips are
I’ve tried to search ‘where the clips are’ but I can’t find it.
What section would it be in?
Thanks
Yes I did sort it. I had aftermarket speakers fitted and the tweeters in the a pillar trim have a little control box which was stuck with a sticky pad to the a pillar had come unstuck and was rattling in the void between the dash and the pillar.
Check the a pillar trim at the bottom where it tucks in beside the dash and meets the windscreen. it’s really common for it to rattle here. Just tap it with your hand and you will see it move. It will move a considerable amount, I just found a small bit of foam, cut it down and wedged it in between the trim and the dash
Threads merged - see above for a diagram
It may just be a snug fit on the vent tube.
I broke one of my tabs and it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
I saw this thread and it didn’t help, no way it simply pulls out or unclips with trim tool, I busted one bottom clip of the front facia and working way around with a plastic pry tool just damages the vent surround.
After manipulating the top storage compartment out, i managed to remove it from the back with a large amount of force from behind and leavering at the front.
Proper pics of the clip location for anyone fighting it in future.
Probably needs correct shaped tool levering in precise clip locations. Simply working from top to bottom with a pry tool did not work for me - it wasn’t shifting and will break off the front surround.
I searched and saw other had the same issue and damaged there vents when removing, there must be a better way

So after breaking x2 clips on the vent cover (!) I’m adding that it’s not the vent cover/ vent cover fascia you pry. You kinda want to get under that & if u can get to that grey foam/ polystyrene looking thing & dig into it. Don’t pry too much on the actual fascia!! On the top there’s a couple of lugs or even try use the clip points to dig it out!!
Hope you fare better than I did!

It’s brutal!! I thought the centre console was gonna be worse but it was a walk in the part. Darn cold weather didn’t help either I guess.
On the bright side I now have a glove box with lid!

Still cant believe I had to pay £100+ for a f******* glove box with lid but hey ho, moving on. Well I will be when the glue dries on the vent covers lol!
