Remove defrost pods from dash without taking out the windshield 68-70 B-Body?

[Blakcharger440]

Can the defrost pods from the top of the dash be removed without removing the windshield on a 68-70 Charger or B-body?

Assuming you're talking about the vents, I always thought that you couldn't. However, some part of my brain remembers getting mine out with the windshield still installed but I have no idea how it happened. Perhaps one of the studs was broken? I'll have to look again tomorrow to verify that they are indeed out of the car.

Its been a while but Im sure I pulled mine out to detail them and reinstalled them with the window in.

yes they can be done with the windshield in

I pulled a set with the windshield on at the junkyard.  You kind of have to bend them a little to get them past the glass and out of the hole.  The attachment tabs have a habit of breaking when you back the speednut off.

yes you can get them out and they have a little flex to them,  I could not get the new ones in, infact I broke the passenger side,  I ended up having my windshield pulled becaus I wanted to paint my dash, but  you can cut the tube down about an inch connect the flexible duct to the tube with duct tape or rthe clips and it should go in much easier, no one will no the difference and if you ever have an issue with a vent you know it will come out with out pulling the windshield.  Just a thought.
