Learn how to remove the air vents (side dashboard) on an Audi A3. Use multiple levers to remove the vents. Pry at the top and bottom with the levers (around the frame), detach the air vents, and pull them out from the dashboard.

Once you have pulled the vents outwards, disconnect them from the power connectors (if present) and remove the piece. Prepare to carry out maintenance inside the dashboard and then begin installing the new air vents; replace the other vents present on the dashboard.
