Once installed there is no way I can get this thing off the vent. I tried pushing in and pulling up per the vendor's instructions- no go. Anyone?

There are little clips holding it on to the grill. You have to pinch each side carefully and remove it. It's not easy, but you can do it if you are careful.

There are two different versions of this, one with springloaded clips you push back and one with solid plastic clips you need to twist open. Don't do what my wife did with hers and yank it out because pieces of the vent may come too.

I have two of these. One is in a Murano and I take it on and off periodically. The two clips that are spring loaded and reach into your vent actually also slide horizontally and can be removed from the back of the main body. Work it either right or left and slip the peg through the hole. Then slide the thing the other direction and slip out the other pin. Then you have separated the unit and are looking at two spring loaded clips stuck in your vent. They come out as the other two answers have described. Got it?

The under side of each of the arms is held tight with springs. If you pull the undersides towards you, the springs will release the tension and you can lift it out.

Paul. The clips are spring loaded and can be pushed just far enough to disengage them from the vent. I had the same problem and used a small screwdriver to push one side at a time to disengage them from the vent. Hope this will help.

You might have stretched the springs too far and they can't stretch anymore to release it. My Jeep has two different "depths" of vents. I must say though, the fasteners of this thing are weak. My wife accidentally bumped mine and it broke, breaking one of the spring arms and making it completely useless. Hopefully you have better luck than I did. I'm searching for something new. At least for the $12 I paid for this thing about a year ago, I got an iPhone/iPod/iPad USB cable, which alone will cost you about that much. If it weren't for that, I'd be pretty upset.

Don't force it out or you will break your vent. If you still have trouble, I will figure out a way to take and post a picture of the back of the thing.

I was able to compress the spring loaded hooks and slowly lift it out while holding the vent still in a position pointing to the car roof. Try freeing one hook at a time.

I had that problem, there are two little springs that you can try to maneuver. They were under the vent and if you hold them so that the clasp opens you should be able to twist the mount off. It wasn't always easy...

my vent came assembled . the top is plastic and you need to mount it with the hing forward or or the wind will rip it rite off and also titen the handal snog but not too hard couse the wind will also lift it open

I had the very same problem. I had to hire a repair man to get it off. So it can be done but I could not do it myself.

Without taking it apart I don't believe so. I finally just gave up on this thing. Really unhappy with the purchase and can't use it at all. I realize I'm the minority. Just not a good experience for me, and not a good buy for what I wanted. I really thing just one of those clip on ones for the vent is a better buy.

Hi Robert, This is my second one too. Neither of mine had the vent in the back top. They work great.

My vents are in the floor, but I just took off the grate and taped it to the inside of the grate. Then I stuck the grate back down in the floor. Don't see why the same wouldn't work on a wall vent unless the vent is open on both sides or can't be removed.

haven't noticed issue with vent or heat but as others have said, the timer knob is annoyingly tough to change once it's set. you basically need a rubber grip device to turn it.

It isn't direct vent, PERIOD. Maybe, I implied something???? Worked in installation, service of all types of gas appliances 20 years. Resend me my actuall comment & I shallreply!

It is very easy to remove from it's mounting holder. With a thumb, push forward and it pops out. To return it to the holder is the opposite, just slide it in, them seat it with minimal thumb pressure. Hope this helps, best regards

Would not recommend trying even if it fits. This unit gives off some heat and needs clearance to vent itself. Also the pressure relief valve is on the top.

Hello. Try using either foil tape or, if you want to be able to take it down and reinstall on a regular basis, use wide rubberized clamps which seal the openings between the lint trap and duct. Try searching for FC4 mounting clamp for round 4" Duct (Pair). Good luck.

I think you may be able to from a local ventor or from the factory. You might need to call customer service about this.

I wish I could answer this. I have not had much luck with my duct control either.Would not recommend.Iam guessing there is airflow from furnace unit causing it to stay on . im looking for another solution

What was suggested to me was to go to a hardware store and find a PVC pipe that will fit in side the vent. Then using a union join the pipe to your stack and join the vent to the PVC pipe. In theory the vent should work but I did not find that to be the he case. Perhaps I was expecting a more dramatic venting.

Slide it up toward the spray outlet. I found that if you grasp the nozzle lock with your thumb and forefinger on each side of the lock it comes out easier. You may have to wiggle it slightly to get it out.

I would pray that I find the key, or use a blow torch, or just call the factory! Surely the manufacturer should be able to give you some serious guidance. Bummer!

Not much help, I installed with some unconventional items fronm the local hardware store. My advice would to get in contact with a place that handles central vacs.
