Grip the ends of the housing and pull out until all catches on both the top and bottom are fully free from the inside of the dashboard. If necessary, use a weatherstrip tool to prize out the ends of the housing.
NOTE: Do not damage the dashboard.

NOTE: Pull alternately on the right and left-hand sides, otherwise the edge of the housing will crack where it enters the air ducts on the inside. The housing is secured firmly so force will be required to release it.
