Air intake vents removal - '96 SC300
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a video (like the link below) or has a link to a manual that shows how to remove the fresh air intake vents (mesh/net) in order to clean under it?
Got a car with a lot of stuff in these areas and the mesh/net it is too fine to let it be vacuumed out.
Link for reference to see these type of vents. This one is a different model, so just to show the part.
Thanks in advance!

Back to report that the process is like you said.
2 big clips holding the plastic part on the side came out straight with no issues.
The rubber gasket is held by other clips. I did not have a pointy plier (I recommend using a small angled-tip plier) to pinch the 2 "wings", so they can then be pried out smooth, and broke a few.
Called a local dealer and fount the part number (90467-101146). They ask $4/clip (hi, Lexus). Quite steep but they can be found for less.
