Re: Remove air conditioning grille

Hi @oconnorjk61,

 

If you have a look around the whole grille and can't identify any screws or screw caps that might conceal screws, then there's a pretty good chance that the grille just clips into place.

 

Have a good look first, but if you can't find any screws, grab a flathead screwdriver and put it in this seam here and lever the grille outwards. It's likely that there will be a few clips along the length of the grille, so start at one end and work your way along.

 

 

If this doesn't produce any movement, then the whole grill, including the face plate, might just clip in, so try putting the screwdriver under the face plate and gently levering outwards. 

 

If you are concerned about damaging the grille, you can wrap your screwdriver with a few layers of masking tape to offer some protection.

 

Let me know how you go and if you require further assistance, please let me know.

 

Jacob
