RTV X1100C Dash Vents

[frodoz737]

So...I dropped by work today to install new seat covers on my new (used) buggy and upon quick reinspection realized I forgot to address something that needs fixing. 3 of the 4 round dash vent grills need to be replaced/repaired because the rod connecting the 2 blades are missing. I can check with Kubota tomorrow, but can anyone here describe how to remove/reinstall these vent grills without actually removing the lower dash panel and/or breaking anything? The part number for these grills "might" be K7711-88920 as found on Messick's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC)...but not 100% sure yet. Below is a file picture to illustrate what I'm talking about.

Thanks.

Looks to be correct.

Not sure how they come out, but I found it interesting they are the exact same vents used in the new Cat wheel loader and excavator I operate.

Thanks. Will update when I replace them. At least these are cheap...relatively speaking for Kubota.

when you get the new ones it will be obvious. you probably will break the old ones bending the tabs to release them but the new ones will just pop in.

Thanks aurthuritis. Ordered 4 new vent grills yesterday that will be here Monday or Tuesday. For anyone listening...I just received my Hitchworks RTV-X Receiver Hitch Extension/Skid Plate "and" Transmission Cover. Will thread my impressions about these after installation in the next day or two.

I am wanting to install the Hitchworks receiver hitch extension on my X1140 when it is delivered in a couple of weeks. I look forward to your review!

stick your fingers in the vent and hook on to the ledge inside and give a gentle tug while turning them and they pop right out.

Stopping buy tomorrow to install the extension/skids...will give it a try. Thanks.
