   i'm putting on my sprayed silver cd console, took ages getting all the buttons off etc. but i cant get the top heater vent out of the old trim, how on earth do i get it out, because the new one i got which has been sprayed, doesnt have the vent in it, just a gap at the top so it can slot in.
   
   someone needs to help me, otherwise i will probably be sitting in my car all night,
   how do i get the vent out of the trim??

   the little rod doesn't do anything, do i push it in, pull it out, because i cant do either, its so small i cant even grab it

   turn it around so the back is towards you then you should be able to slide them out from the inside
