Just installed mine. Couple things I think may help others: keep track of which vents and associated pieces you use per side, double check to make sure everything is face up correctly, and when installing things back note that you have to install the driver dash piece before the main vent piece in the center
My Tacoma is a ‘19. All my rings were #’d 2 also. Still, install was no problem. Follow the video and take your time. Don’t rush it, watch the details and it’ll work out fine
Just a heads up but the 2019 at least is slightly different the rings the chrome is installed in are molded to the larger piece. Instead of all of them being like the passenger vent. I took some pictures if your interested. Love the look with my cement!
@@doda7443 sorry just saw these requests. The process is basically the same except where he pulls the individual vents from the main section. You have to swap the rings while it's all one piece.
Installing mine now. Pretty disappointing that they cost this much and they AREN'T a perfect fit. Factory chrome rings are cut at different angles. MESO rings are all identical and so some of them don't sit flush properly. Reading these comments, it was a problem 2 years ago, and is still a problem now. Guess MESO doesn't care about customer feedback, and doesn't care about perfection.. Bummer..
if you arent associated with MESO ,then you should be, they should send you all their shit so you can make video of the install. professional thumbs up 100%
Some of them are pushed all the way down but dont seem to be sitting flush on mine. But appears all vents have different angled borders so appears lile theyrre not on right. Does any one else have this problem?
Yeah, what Ryan says. If has a 3D scanner he should've just scanned the original chrome rings and re-created them in the different colors, then they'd all fit perfect. It does make my I.T. OCD tick to look at them and they're not sitting flush, looks a bit sloppy. Hopefully he'll put some work into them and come up with better ones that fit flush, there's definitely room for improvement. I'd buy another set and swap them out if he did come up with ones that fit flush like the factory chrome ones.
If you look they say 2 one side of the back and 1-3-4 on the other side of the back, like at opposite sides on the back. He doesn't really explain it right in the video. Basically he should be saying 'turn it so the 1-3-4 and arrow are up for this vent" and "turn it so the 2 and arrow are up for this vent"

Same for a tundra

FYI everyone...this mod disables you from using a vent phone mount.

Mine's a 2021 and all of my rings were also labeled 2. That part of the video confused me a bit

Do Da yes you just don't pull the vents from the housing.
Yes please show me your process
I would like to see yours as well. Mine have a gap if left flush

Can the rings be painted and then re installed again. Or if the tabs in the back are cut they are no good.
The dash panels really just pop out like that? I'm sure I can do it myself but I feel like with my luck I'd break something.
Great Job, as always. Love the dog.
Still waiting for the flip key 😂
What color do you use in this install? Black or MGM?
That’s def black

Just got my kit. Just wish it was available before I installed the expedition Essentials 3tpam. Center is going to be a pita to remove now.

What tools were used?
Seemed liked too much hassle with the dash disassemble, so I went with the ones that's use the 3m backing. Couldn't be happier.

Yeah. The original factory chrome rings were angled cut to be flush but my rings if left flush leave a visible gap with these meso rings.
yeah i just installed mine today and have the same problem. It's not even numbered in the back either which one goes where.
@@vannatouch2172 yeah they're not even numbered

These things are a fucking nightmare.
what color are these? mgm or black
just that on the website it looks the same black and mgm
I see this as an option for some custom halo led lights
Jesus all this for such a small piece?
this looks like a tremendous PIA. I think im gonna try the stickers first
Why do mine all say 2?
If you look they say 2 one side of the back and 1-3-4 on the other side of the back, like at opposite sides on the back. He doesn't really explain it right in the video. Basically he should be saying 'turn it so the 1-3-4 and arrow are up for this vent" and "turn it so the 2 and arrow are up for this vent"
👍🏻
Mine all 4 ring say 2🤦🏻♂️

None of that works for the 2020 tundra trd pro
