Here is 2 videos. :woot:

They show you some of the procedure at the 1 minute mark and the 1.40 minute mark respectively.

What they don't show is how to "fully" remove it (the videos are more about radio removal).

There is a cable on the right side you will be able to "just" see once you pop it out (like in the videos). As far as I can tell you would probably required a pair of long nose pliers to reach in and squeeze to end of the cable before it releases by being able to be pushed out of a bracket (using the pliers). I think you'll see what I mean when yo get to that point.

I've never actually done it, but will need to myself in coming weeks.

Let me know how you went. :ninja:

I dont think those vids talk to the OP's original question:

But they're pretty handy vids for the radio removal!
I woulda thought the side vents just pop out, although i've never tried it myself.

As for the radio removal; anyone able to confirm if its the same procedure for the KL as shown in that first vid?

they all should be the same they will have that crappy cable to remove off the side of the air box down the bottom on the drivers side as for the outer ones i would imagine they would just pop out it isnt hard to remove the glove box to get access to them

Oh you are so right. I obviously did not read it properly. I was probably half asleep.

I agree with others that the side ones would probably just pop out with a small flat head screw driver. I've never actually done those ones either.
