vent louver stuck

One of the bottom vent louvers on the center radio bezel of my 2012 OS is sticking. I can get it to move if I mess with it but that's hard to do when driving. I've looked at it but can't seem to see what's causing it to stick. Maybe if I could get the bezel off I could see something from the back side. However, I've come up empty trying to find out how to get the bezel off. Anybody have experience doing this and want to share how to do this?

Thanks for the quick reply.


I hate to sound dense about this but how do you get the bezel off with the clips (I'd rather not break them)? And, in looking at your other photos, where the heck are the vent louvers?

Ideally you should use a panel remover like this, but you should be fine with a screwdriver wrapped in cloth. Start at the bottom of the louvre, working your way up. This video might help.
