air vent cover removal

i searched but i have no clue what these pieces are called so searching offered no results.



i already have my radio and ac controls removed and are painted black but i cant figure out how to remove these. any help is appreciated. thanks

 

sub would like to know. just because.

 

Good Luck! I hope someone knows!

 

anyone?

 

I'm taking mine off tonight. There's ten plastic clips that hold the surround in place. You have to take a bunch of stuff off to get to them. Better be sure you want to before you start. You have to get the stereo out, then remove the step plate on the drivers side door side, then the panel by your left foot, then the lower section of the dash, then the upper (where your gauges are). Once your gauges are clear, you can get to the clip hiding on the left side of the vents to pull the bezel off.

 

ummmm, yea.


f**k that noise. i think i can live with them being silver

 

I can't.

 

well, a little color offset never hurt anyone lol

 

Can you access them if you remove the radio?

My radio is out, still no access. You have to pull the dash apart like said above

 

I have painted those pieces. The dash has to come down. I recently did this to change my gauge cluster. I did a write up on XRU. This might help you.

yup, that's the "proper" way. had to do this many of times.

 

Thanks for posting all this. I used the info to take mine apart. I only took 1/2 the gauge cover off and slid the A/C vent cover out. It's most def worth the hassle. Wasn't too bad took longer to deal with the radio harness than anything else. Thanks again.!

 

I think they're called "thingies".

 

Nice PDF where can someone get that kind of tear down info on the entire truck? Thanks for any info.

 

No joke! That would be very helpful. Sub'd

 

What about the right side?
