Removal of Air Vents

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Air vents

For replacement or cleaning of the internal ducts, it is sometimes necessary to remove the air vents of the vehicle. The operation is very simple: fully open the vent grille and remove the grilles. Remove the retaining screws of the assembly located inside, then firmly grasp the entire body of the vent. Pulling with calibrated force and wiggling it from side to side, extract the vent from its housing. Disconnect the connectors located behind the various switches. After cleaning or replacement, insert the vent ensuring it is perfectly aligned and straight to facilitate the operation.
