How to Replace the Central Air Vents on a Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Air vents

Before starting, sit in the driver's seat of your Volkswagen Tiguan. Begin by prying out and removing the upper caps in the frame that contains the vents, using a thin but sturdy tool and applying leverage, and then disconnect any electrical connector if present. Next, unscrew and remove the screws that secure the frame with the vents. Once you have removed the securing screws, you can also remove the frame with the vents, completing the disassembly. To install the frame with the new vents, simply follow these few steps in reverse, and you will be finished.
