Does anybody have any steps/pointers on how to remove the front vent louvers? The car is still in decent shape so I don't want to start breaking things on it or messing up plastic parts by prying in the wrong spot. Usually I can find youtube videos or forum postings on stuff like this but so far all I've found are for other Toyotas or videos from overseas showing what looks like a different car. 
The long story...
A few days ago my wife noticed a bad smell in her car--2006 Corolla. After looking around, I found that a rodent had chewed some of the rear seat so there was a small pile of foam pieces under the rear seat and next to the rear door.
I couldn't find any sign of a mouse anywhere else in the car but the cabin air filter was full of maple seeds and other debris (the car sits outside near a maple tree), so I changed out the cabin air filter. We then proceeded to rent an upholstery cleaner and cleaned out the carpets and the rear trunk liner. The smell is still present but is much fainter. In case there's still a dead mouse or nest somewhere in the ducts, I'd like to get a camera down into the vents. Autozone apparently has a nice borescope in their tool loaner program. The problem is that the camera part of it is too wide to get between the vent louvers, so I'm thinking if I can remove the vents I can get the camera in there a couple feet to make sure I got everything.
