How to remove internal air vents

[wildejon 7]

Hey all,

 

Does anyone know how the side, internal air vents are removed? Should they just pop out?
It feels like it, but I really don't want to break anything.

 

I need to get to the headlight position adjuster (it's an EU car), as the resistor seems like it's worn.

 

Thanks!

They should pop out. There's a clip near the bottom and then the top edge just hooks under the dash. Try using a flat screwdriver under the bottom edge to lever it out.

Cool, thanks. I'll just be brave

Not too much to add here, other than that the headlight position adjuster is not EU-specific but Germany-specific. My originally Dutch market 205 GTi did not have it and I have never seen one in other Dutch market 205s. However, now that I live in Germany I see it on every 205.

 

About the clips, not sure if this helps:

My '91 original Dutch vehicle has the adjusters as well.

 

They were an option back in the day afaik. If you didn't have the adjuster in the inside of the vehicle you has a different lamp bracket which had the adjuster incorporated in it. So if you were carrying a heavy load you needed to pop the bonnet first to adjust the head lights.

Thanks all, it came out at least. 
Now to fix the weird contraption that I doubt came with it originally
