Well, I got it out and didn’t break it more then it was. 

        I’ve sure learned a lot about the different vents! 

I’ll likely need a replacemnt but I’ll take a look at the construction tomorrow and see if there is any hope of a repair.  Looks like one plastic stud is broken . 

It is so much fun putting things back to full working condition with this van.
