Nobody cares to help me figure out how to remove the dash vents without breaking them?

Anybody?

 

umm, i dont really know how to take the vent out but you can take out the airflow piping by lowering your steering wheel, its a PITA to put it back but it would work

 

i mean i just wiggle mine out. Theres two metal pins that you can press in there on the sides, They stick out and hold the vents in, but if you press them in with something small you can pull it out.

 

whoa whoa whoa, there was a NO ac model???

:? Of course A/C was optional on an sporty economy car...

Good stuff to know for me too, I should probably assault mine with a shop vac.

 

yes there is a no ac model, it still has the blower, but instead of a a/c button there was a fake black button that didnt do anything,

of course A/c is more common in hot places

 

The vents are not bolted on in any way. To remove them you need to take a flathead screw driver and a rag (to protect the dash) and pry on the sides. It is difficult to get them out without breaking them so take your time. There are two metal tabs on the side right at the point where the piece turns and goes around the dash edge.

The units have two parts to them, the front face with the horizontal vents and the back piece with the vertical vents. The unit should come out as one assembly but be very careful as the front face can and will likely break away from the back part.

As for the center vent it works the exact same way. Just be careful, move slowly, and jiggle everything.

 

Thanks guys.... I had tried pulling the vent tube off from underneath, but didn't have any luck. Likewise with the dash vent, I didn't want to break anything. I'll give it another try tonight.

FWIW, my car is a non AC (poo since I live in AZ!), non-power window, and apparently non-power steering model. It's the basest of the base models. Since I'm building a gas mileage car out of it, that's all a good thing though.

 

Power windows and power steering were never offered on any CRX sold in the US.

Wasn't sure about those, but I figured that they might be options. What about cruise control? I don't have that either (It's about the only thing missing that I wouldn't mind having honestly)

My car was supposed to be a non sunroof model as well, but it had a glass pop-up put in it back in the day. Right now I'm jumping through hoops trying to find a replacement for the broken hinge on it. I'm not having much luck though and am about ready to just silicone the lid shut on it.

 

cruise control was never a factory option either.

I would try and find a roof from another crx hf or dx and have it professionally installed. Aftermarket sunroofs can lead to major leaks and rust later on down the road.

 

where in AZ are you dude?
