For some strange reason, something is wrong with my 2001 ES300 driver's side air vent. I can adjust it left or right, so the louvers work fine, but it won't move vertically properly. I assume that its held by a pin on each side, and that one of the pins may have broken, or came out of its respective mating hole. It's weird as I hardly ever, ever even move it.

Anyways, I would like to remove it, examine the cause, and try to fix it somehow.

So my question is: How do I remove it without any risk of damaging the vent any further?

Thanks,

Phil

At least on my 2002 there is a dash piece that includes the left vent. To remove it I had to partially remove the odometer cluster because each piece overlaps eachother if you will. I am not sure how the 2001 is designed some hopefully one of them will chime in. I wouldn't try to just pop out the movable piece of the vent, because they are a larger piece with a duct attached to them.

Thanks Megafast13. On my 2001, my vent is basically stand alone. I'm just not sure how to pull it out without causing anymore damage.
