Question is250 vent help

Hi there,

So I was finally going to install my Vais today. I read the DIY over and over to familiarize myself so it would go smoothly, but i guess I jinxed myself.

I pushed the first vent tab and heard a snap right away. The little tab had broken off and now there is nothing to pry down to release the vent form the dash.

Man, i barely touched the thing and it snapped off.

What can I do to remove the vent? I did not touch the other 3 tabs fearing that I would snap those off too. Can anyone offer me some advice? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I posted this in the audio portion too.


HELP

I tried removing my center vents to change the LEDs to blue. I thought it was simply pushing the tabs upward but it wouldn't release. So I got annoyed and broke all the tabs by accident. What I did to get the vent out was to jam a flathead into the sides and top, then pry the vent out. Be careful when doing this to not crack the vent. It will go back in properly and stay in place.
