Hello, I hope I can offer you some assistance.

Do you need to know how the vent comes out? Can you let me know the exact information you require?

Let me know and I'll reply as soon as I'm able to.

Thank you.

Customer replied234 days and 18 hours ago.

Do I need to remove the air vent & if so how easy is it to do or can I extract the coin some other way.

Expert:  sean replied234 days and 17 hours ago.

Hello again,

this would all depend on where the coin has gone to in the heater box assembly. To get to the windscreen vents ducts would mean removing the dash so obviously if the coin isn't causing a problem then I would leave it. If the coin has dropped down then you can remove the pollen filter to try to access it plus any ducts that are easily accessible from the footwells.

As I said earlier this depends on how far the coin has dropped in to the heater box.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Best wishes,

Sean.

The coin rolls about when I corner and sounds if it is in top of the vent

Hello again,

unfortunately as I said previously the only way to access the vents it to remove the dash, the part of the dash that the vents blow through screws on to the rest of the dash from underneath there are 6 screws holding it

I'm sorry this isn't the answer you want but there is no point damaging the dash trying to remove the coin or a trim that is fastened in.

Let me know if I can assist in any way.

Best wishes,

Sean.

Hello again,

as you seem unhappy is there anything further I can assist with? As I said I know this isn't the answer you wanted but I can only give an answer based on facts. I wouldn't want to say "yes lever the top of the dash with the vents off it just unclips" for you to end up with a broken £500 part.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Thank you.
