Removing the air vents on an Audi A3 is theoretically a very simple procedure, the same applies to many car models, but it is more complex in practice. To do this, use a plastic wedge that is thin enough to insert into the gap between the vent and the dashboard.

At this point, leverage the wedge to extract the vent. Sounds simple? Not quite, as shown in the video, the operation requires a lot of patience.

Keep working around the gap, leveraging all around, not just at one point.
