Changing air vents on T/A fenders

Anyone have some hints/tips on the easiest way to change the fender air vents on my 89 T/A?
The drivers side vent must have some broken tabs as it not flush with the body.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Changing air vents on T/A fenders

you have to first remove your lower ground effects panel. After it's off, there are spring clips that hold the fender vent into the fender. Remove a couple of the rear-most clips that hold your wheel well liner in and you can reach in and feel around the side of the fender vent for the spring clips... push them in towards the plastic fender vent and pop the vent out of the front of the fender.
