passenger air vent removal

[ehayden1]

I have an interesting one. Just picked up my 2012 Genisis 2.0t premium coupe. Drives and sounds great. Noticed that the passenger side air vent has disconnected louvres inside. Seems like an easy fix (pop the tabs back in the holes) but the outside grate is in the way. It is the vent just to the right of the console.

Anyone know how to properly remove the air vent so I can snap the louvres back in place? Hopefully not a dash job. Will certainly take it in for that. Just seems like it would waste a trip to the shop for an easy fix.

Thanks
Eric

Don;t even touch- go back to dealer! Notify them and say I will bring it in in a couple weeks- then demand free oil change.

Thanks Streets, sounds like you are familiar with it. I don't want to mess it up. You hate those little pesky things that look really easy but then you find out that the dash has to come off in order to get to something just out of reach with the dash intact.

I was hoping the 2012 has a pop out ac vent grill just by popping hidden tabs or snaps.
