This much I know about British cars:  The first piece down the assembly =

Hope this helps.

  Hi,


  How do I remove he air vent* that resides between the bonnet and the =
windscreen?  I've been unable to find good exploded diagrams in either =
the WSM or SPL. =20


  * the SPL calls the vent cover: P/N 36 Lid Assembly - Dash Ventilator


  I can open the vent up, but it is very rusty and doesn't move well.  =
The vent cover itself looks to be in reasonably good shape but I suspect =
it is all rotted out underneath the lid.  When I open the vent, I can =
see a number of phillips head screws under the lid and above the screen =
mesh.  I suspect that removing them will allow me to pull the vent lid =
off, but those screws are so rusty they are going to break long before I =
can unscrew them so I thought I'd better ask for advice from the group.=20


  I have the heater unit out of the car, but I don't see any easy access =
from underneath.   I can see that there are 4 screws under the dash that =
look like they hold the flap to the air vent duct in place.  However,  =
it looks like it will still be impossible to extract the flap even if =
those 4 screws do come out - it's a really tight fit under there. =20


  So before I go about this the wrong way - what is the right way to =
remove the vent for repair? =20


  Thanks in advance.


  Best Regards,
