Removal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>The phillips head screws under the lid and above the screen

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>* the SPL calls the vent cover: P/N 36 Lid Assembly - Dash
Ventilator</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have the heater unit out of the car, but I don't see any easy access
from underneath. I can se e 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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So before I go about this the wrong way - what is the right way to
remove the vent for repair? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
