How do i remove...

[kszabo]

You know those little adjustable plastic grates that you can use to control the direction of airflow out of the vents into the cab? I want to take mine out to paint them. Is thier a trick to popping them out or do i need to dissasemble a large section of the dash to get to them?

I don't know of anyone who has ever been able to get them out without breaking them. trying to get them from being is next to impossible too, even if you can get up in theren the space to get to the clips is so tight that your not likely going to get anything in there.

 

Perhaps Nissan has a tool for this, but I have never seen or heard of one.

 

Sorry, I know thats not what you wanted to hear, but

thanks for the quick response, ill probably just mask around them and spray them where they are. or just leave them black

 

thanks again

I broke mine painting my dash also

They're screwed in from the inside, so you'd have to take the dash all apart to get them out. They do pop out if you're lucky, there's a little plastic stub on top and bottom but the plastic doesn't flex, it tends to just break.

I'll confirm this, its the case with most vehicles If we have to paint a dash at work we mask and blast. Its not worth the labour to get the grates out.
