Anyone know how to remove the side vent cover? Thanks in advance.

 

No one?

 

Looks like it might be a snap in part. See:

Thanks! That is for the 996 T. Could be the same, but I am worried about snapping something if I pull on it too hard.

 

I think it just snaps in/out. When I had a dentless guy take a dent out he accessed it through the vent, had it on/off in seconds.

 

Thanks. I will try it.

 

This is an old thread, but I revived it to post a picture if anyone needs a reference in the future.

The side vent is held by 5 clips.

In addition, there are two guides toward the wheel well.

The vent is removed by pulling/prying the vent away from the car, then forward toward the door. Many people use painters tape, and a plastic wedge along the red arrows.

Red arrows show where to pry, the blue arrows are the guides. Do not pull away from the car by the guides - they will break. Pull the vent away from the car by the red arrows.

 

Use painter's tape:

 

Plastic pry bar, pry away from car:

 

 

Clip holder:

 

5 clips total, pry at each one:

 

Back side of vent (there are 5 clips, 4 are shown):

Total time to remove, 30 seconds.

I hope this helps someone. Even if you don't plan on doing any mods, it is important to know how to access this area in the event you get a door ding in the rear fender well area.
