Should be same on .2 as it is on .1 ... just pull up on the pieces; they use compression fitted clips.

Good luck

1. remove a-pillar covers
2. use trim tool to remove existing trim pieces, IIRC you may need to start with center speaker cover.
3. drop in replacements (clipped in)
4. replace a-pillar covers

You need to remove the pillar covers because the a-pillar side of the defrost trim pieces has a clip that rests just inside the a-pillar cover. Trying to pry it out could cause heartache, and removing the a-pillar cover is a breeze. On scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most difficult, I give this a 1. (and I have removed and/or replaced almost every interior part in my 997).

good luck.

^ What he said. You have to remove the A-pillar in order to remove the defroster vents. Do a Google search as there is a step by step on how to remove the A-pillar.
