Default Anyone know how to pull out pass vent?

I need to run wires for fogs and the vent will not pull out as mentioned in other posts. Did they change for 2012 and has anyone with a 2012 done this? tks.

the 2012 doesnt twist like the 2011. if you peak inside there are tiny slots you put a long thin screwdriver and depress them. if your removing the vent to get the side pieces off of the dash you really dont have to do it that way. just gently start to pry the dash side pieces and they pop right off.

How do you remove the center window switch plate. I tried pulling but i feel it will break something. Should i just man up and yank it out?

In my 11 I used a flat head screwdriver and pried it up and it popped off. Be careful you can mess up the dash.
