2. The swivelling vents can be unclipped after swivelling them downwards as far as possible.

3. The centre vent housing is secured by four screws, two above and two below (see illustration). The lower screws also secure the radio surround. This housing also carries the clock, when fitted, which must be disconnected when removing the housing.
