Remove rear AC vents

eggyacid · 03-18-2018, 10:09 AM

Well, I had a drunk guy in my car last night decided to purge directly towards my rear center vents... I got most of the pieces clean but I want to take the rear vent off and clean it with Lysol. Does anyone know how to take the rear piece apart? PDF or Pic would be amazing... thank you, my last resort

I don't know if regular detail place can get to it or not... or is this something BMW will do?

Lets try this.

This diagram, #5, should be pull able, just held by clips.

Then there are 2 screws #16 holding down the vents assy #4. Undo, then pull out.

Thank you, very helpful

I got the little plastic piece off and I was able to remove 2 screws under the plastic (Torx-12 I believe)

Looks like there might be 2 screws #16 on the side I need to get to but can't.

Damn dude that sucks!! I’d be making said drunk dude pay for the cleaning! Good luck and I hope you get all the gross out.
