How to Remove the Air Vent on a Mercedes SLK

Model: Mercedes Slk MK 2, R171 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Air vents

Is the air vent not working? Let's see how to remove it. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located on the central dashboard. Get a screwdriver (as shown in the video) and unscrew the side screws of the container under the air vent. Once the two screws are removed, lever the air vent out, pulling it away with your hands until it comes out of its housing. Repeat this process for the other air vents on the car's dashboard. Finally, fit the new air vents and the storage container.
