Thought this would likely be the best place to post since getting in the dash is the norm. To make a long story short, my 2 year old put a coin into my passenger side outside AC vent. Not wanting anything to get damaged in the AC or have a chronic rattle, I fished out the coin with some needle nose plyers, accidently breaking a tab off of one of the luvers. Seeing as I'm pretty anal, it is just bugging me to death about the damaged luver to the point I want to replace the whole vent grill. Has anyone done this? I've found the part and the schematic and it looks like it screwed in from the back. Anyone have success doing this with out dropping the whole dash?
