Default how to replace the center vent?

The flaps on the center vent of my 96' ti are all broken and rattle around when i turn on the air and its driving me nuts!

I want to take it out and replace it, but i cant seem to find any info in the bentley manual, or online about the ti specifically.

Do i have to disassemble the entire dash to get it out or just pop it out with a screw driver? I found a couple threads on here, but nothing about how to go about replacing it.


Thanks in advance,
John

Screw driver and pry the sides first, try not to deform the dash.
