I had to pull it all out, I couldn't get the vanes to break free of the painted outer portion. The upper and lower tabs are ok, but the long arm of the tab that's toward the front of the vent got pretty bent in a way it wasn't meant to go, so it's not exactly broken, but it's not ok either...it's just there, hanging on by some worn and cracking plastic. I had to pry that one free with a flathead to get it to release from its clip so I could pull the whole vent cover out (watch your paint and where you move the screwdriver if you do so). The vanes just don't separate from the outer part easily, and I'd rather break one of the tabs than break the vanes.
