Default A/C vent removal. Need Help ASAP!

Hello All,

I'm trying to figure out how to remove my DRIVERS side vent. (the little one right next to the drivers side door. I have a rattle that goes away when I press on the vent, so I want to take it out and fix it. I know how to take apart the center dash without a problem, but I don't know how to pull the drivers side out. It appears that there is no where to pry from, because the wood extends about 1/2 and inch back. I don't want to to break anything. Does it require some other trim to be removed first like some other cars? It's driving me crazy and want it out of my life. I also am going to attack the nav bezel which also has developed an annoying rattle.

My OCD is on fire with this one.

Thanks!

I was able to put a little thread tape and stuff it at the bottom in between the soft dash and the vent with a nylon pry tool. It took care of it, and was easy Peasy. Perfect and undetectable.

Thanks!
