Remove A Pillar AC Vent

Does anyone know how to remove this vent located on top of the dash near the A pillar on both sides? I popped out the vents on the front of the dash but not these, any thoughts? I already viewed multiple YT videos removing interior trim but have not seen this one done.

Pull hard. I'm pretty sure I pulled these out when I bought the car just to see if it comes out or if it is part of the dash. I leave work in 20 minutes so I'll try mine then to be sure and update this if I find something to the contrary

According to this I'm going to guess it just pops right out: https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal..._rm_index.html

They are annoying to pull out but they do indeed pop out. Easiest is to get it lifted enough to get under the front lip in order to gain more leverage. The rear tab slides in so you basically want to lift it up from the front edge until the front, and two side tabs pop loose, and then you can just remove it by sliding it out. The rear does NOT pop straight up.
