There are clips on both sides of the deflector, that slide into slots on the inside of the bezel. I took a very thin small head flat tip screwdriver and inserterted it between one side of the deflector and the clip, then pushed the clip in. I had to use a flash light to see the clips. Once the clip was in, I pushed the deflector back into the bezel and with a little finagling the other end came out of the clip. With both ends out of the clips (the deflector was now vertical and one end was protruding out of the bezel) I just pulled the deflector out and replaced it with the new deflector. Put one end of the deflector in the indention of the clip and slowly push the other end in. Once the other end goes in far enough it clicks into place. I did everything very slow and didn't force anything. It seemed to me that this was the way it was designed and engineered to work. I brlieve that if I had removed the dash, I would of had to replace the deflector in the same manner, it just would have been easier to see what needed to be done.
