Thread: Removing the side vents on a D4?

I used a couple of zip ties and a lot of pull when I installed the RAI.
It's pretty tight.

Regards

I used a long thin screw driver to pop the clips from inside the bonnet next to the bonnet hinges. Use a light to seethrough the gap to the clips, they then pop out once levered a little. I have replaced mine with the black edition vents including grill

On the D3 you stand with your back to the vent, grab the centre bar and pull up hard and pull out.
Side lights are even easier, slide forward and then pull out.

Hey gribbsmy13 where did you purchase the black edition grill and vents from? Were they expensive? Cheers.

Thanks Gribbs, i've had a crack at that method but gave up, i'll give it another shot.

I'm the same I have a matte black grille and vent kit.

Check out lrparts.net for pricing gaz, they're UK based.

Yeah I saw the D3 method on youtube so gave that a shot, but I think the clips are different on the D4 because it's not moving at all.

I have one of each in the shed and yes the clips are different on the D4. The 3 has clips on the bottom and tabs on the top where the 4 has the same clips top and bottom. On the D3 it was easy, but I couldn't get the D3 method to work on the D4. I can't remember what I did on the 4, I think I slid a small screw driver down between the vent and the panel to push the clips down. Whatever it was, it was a bitch.

Cheers,

I used Rich's method, lifting as well as pulling out at the bottom. No breakages.
