U NEED TO FIRST REMOVE A/C VENTS, U WILL NEED A PLASTIC REMOVAL TOOL FOR THIS PLUS & 3 NEEDLE TYPE PICKS TO REMOVE THE VENT NEAREST THE DOOR, CENTER VENT WILL COME APART IF U DONT REMOVE IT WITH CARE, USING THE PLASTIC TOOL TO REMOVE CENTER VENT PUSH TOOL BETWEEN VENT & TOP SECTION OF RADIO FACEPLATE, PULL ON ANY SECTION OF VENT THAT POPS OUT FIRST THEN WORK YOUR WAY DOWN, AFTER THAT TAKE THE PICKS & USE A FLASH LIGHT TO LOOK INTO OUTER VENT FOR THE LOCKING CLIPS 2 WILL BE ON THE OUTER SIDE NEAR DOOR & 1 WILL BE NEAR TOP SECTION ON THE SIDE NEAR STEERING WHEEL, LOOK FOR ALL THROUGH VENT, STICK 1 PICK IN EACH CLIP AREA 3 IN ALL, AFTER THAT TAKE HAND & PUSH PICKS OUTWARD & PULL VENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, AFTER REMOVING VENT, TAKE YOUR TORX SCREW DRIVER & ALL SCREWS FROM RADIO & DASH PANEL , NOTE REMOVE RADIO FIRST & DRIVE CAR & CHECK FOR NOISE ALSO DRIVE WITH CUPHOLDER IN THE OUT POSITION WHILE CHECKING TOO. GOOD LUCK
