      Remove chrome side "vents"

      I've been searching around here with no luck, though I'm sure it's been mentioned before. I want to remove the chrome side vents on my 2011 Aveo5, but I don't know how. Do you just pull them out or are there screws/bolts involved from the back end.
      Thank you in advance!

      They have tabs around them and they snap in.

      If you pry up and the swing out, it should pop out. But the force needed might scratch the fender, depending what tool you choose

      The "easiest" way without damage that i have done, is to take out the top bolts along the fender, there is also on under the wiper tray, and one in the door jamb. With those loose, you can pull the fender out just enough to see the backside and slide a tool in to push in the tabs on one side.
