So I have the feeling I'm gonna break this no matter how carefully I am.

Did you have the recall work done on the hood vents? If so , don't forget they used a bunch of adhesive !

I believe it has the recall done. This hood Louver was never coming off.

Are you able to apply heat to it? might soften the adhesive up ( I would heat from the underside to protect the plastic)

What are your plans once it's off ? Making real vents out of it ?

I didn't even take mine off to put on the hood handles

Just get longer and skip the PIA of trying to get the vents off.

So after the headache yesterday my homemade Hood handles are on. Even with all the hassle I feel they were still cheaper than the ones I found online.

I took mine off today to install run cool louver. I got one corner started and gave it a good yank. Came right off. The recall adhesive was all over hood. Good thing I guess cause there was only two clips holding it down.

I was trying to be careful but just gave up and bolted it straight thru.

I bolted mine straight through 4 years ago and have not seen any adverse effects so far

So Im guessing that you used heat correct? Did you use floss or anything like that to help it come off?

What's the purpose of the ropes running from the light bar to the brush guard?

Its to protect the hood/windshield from low hanging branches.
