In the 2k RL, the air vents are part of the center dashboard, so the clips (4) are above the vents and just above the wooden part.

 

You don't need a flat head screw driver in order to pry the clips, you'd risk scratching something by doing that. You can easily pull the wooden dashboard downward and out, it's much safer this way. I just removed mine today.

Yeah... Unclipping clips is what I hate most when it comes to removing components.
