Air Outlets: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The instrument panel air outlet barrels are retained onto the pivots located in the outlet housing by a light snap fit.

Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, gently pry on the panel air outlet barrel(s) until the barrel retainers release from the barrel pivots of the air outlet housing. See Fig 1.
Remove the barrel(s) from the outlet(s). If needed, use a trim stick.
