997.1 Side scoop/vent removal
Tried search, does anyone have info on how to remove the side scoop? If it pops out, are there any tricks to it? which side of the scoop do you start from?
TIA

I was able to remove the scoop, I started at the top towards the front of the car and created a gap to get the trim tool into, then ran the trim tool down the lead edge of the piece. I’ll post pics of the tabs and fasteners when I get home.

This is a photo of the driver’s side scoop, there are three points that pop straight out along the lead edge (right side of photo) and another one on top and bottom that pop straight out (away from the body), finally on the trailing edge there are two points that slide in and to the rear of the car, these are the attachments that are undone by moving the scoop towards the front of the car.

Are you going to replace with carbon fiber? If so, would love a photo or two

You are extremely lucky you didn’t break any of the tabs, especially the one on the top! The process is to begin at the bottom or top and work the sides close to the door. Then pull out towards the door. This is per the workshop manual 665629. To facilitate the installation, use dishwasher soap mixed with water and spray the taps and insertion points. It will snap in place and nothing will break. Soap will dry in a few days.

Do a search on the other forum and you will be able to see where to start the prying process, as well as, the attachment points. Quite detailed.
