side vent removal

[WhipE350]

There are a lot of posts on this, some show pictures that make it seem easy. From what I'm readying and from my experience it never comes out the same.

I was unable to remove the grill while the frame was still in the car, I ended up pushing from SW to NE on the lower left hand corner and the whole thing came out intact. At this point it just takes some work to get the whole frame and grill out in one piece. Once I got it out I cleaned it up good and still was not able to remove the grill from the frame...though I could clearly see how it doe disconnect. I will say I didn't try very hard because at that point I had no reason to have them in two separate pieces.

I have a 2000 'S', maybe other years are different. Like a lot of part on the Boxster just when you think you will break something it snaps out.
