The air vent above the 2nd row driver's side captain's chair is broken and needs to be replaced. I have the new part aka vent, but do not have any clue how to begin exchanging the broken one with the new one. I've searched youtube and can only find videos of how to replace the round air vents (which I have done twice now due to children). Any advice would help? Thank you, JL

Do you have a trim tool set ? One of those L shaped tools to depress the plastic clips that lock it into the headliner is what you need.
Or, since you are replacing the entire piece and don't care if you break it any more, a small putty knife around the perimeter will work to either depress or break off the retaining clips and allow you to pull it out of the headliner.

Can you tell me the part number for this? I need the black one but can't find the one you provided in the screenshot. Also, did you figure out a way to replace it?
