[s-cars] radio, air vent removal?

[Kirby Smith]

The ones at the ends of the dash definitely pull out.  I had to do so to
install my A'pexi boost controller.  I believe I bent up stiff coat
hanger wires to make tools.  What I don't recall is whether there was
some trick involved.  Perhaps the top assy had to be pulled before the
horizontal assembly.
