False air intake removal?

[JoeFireGuy]

I wanna remove the two 'air intakes' at the rear/outside of the hood. How? I cant find any hardware. Do I pull, slide, knock on the fender Fonzi style?

Dumfounded in Denver,

Having just removed those earlier this week to install my roof light wiring I've got the OEM instructions. I'll take a pic and post it when I get home. Seems to me that if you pull up from the outside lip it's just to clips that hold it in place.

Pull straight up; might need to rock a bit when pulling. They are held in place by clips.

open hood grab hold and pull upward!

Yep, that's all, ref. step 11

Pop the hood but don't open it. Pull up to release the clips then open the hood to remove it. If you do it with the hood up there is a good chance it will smack it in to the hood when the clips come lose.

I agree, don't open the hood.

Opening the hood hasn't been an issue for the piece when pulling up the vent; it's my hand that gets painfully whacked! :swear:
