How to remove the side vents for 03 turbo...

[Alex4747]

I am replacing the black side vents with the aluminum/leather ones and was hoping someone (Loren?) could tell me how to replace both sides including removing the oval/round/light controls from the older vents and putting them on the new ones. thanks in advance, alex

Remove cap (20) and then the screw (21) from inside. The remove the two screws (21) from the door side of the vent. Disconnect any electrical connectors (if there are any).

Be sure to post some pictures when you are done. Where did you end up getting the new vents and how much did you pay?

Paid $408 each for the sides and $189 for the center ones from Sunset. They are extremely difficult to get in Graphite grey leather and Aluminum, not even ebay :angry:

Over the last year I have made some nice improvements and I will post dome pictures and list the parts. Alex

Very nice setup :D
