Trying to let the pics do the talkin here as this is got to be one of those most confusing tasks. I ended up just pushing the vent piece into the car at the attachment points shown in pic. The 3 fingers held in by metal clip pushed away from it with gentle pressure. You will not be able to see it push through though cause the surround is in the way. Once pushed in the surround came out with a little coaxing, it is just pressure fit into body. The manual says that there is a tab at 1st and 4th bar on each side that you insert a plastic tool and push vent away from surround as well. Hope this helps. This is an 02 yours may be different. Forgot, one more important screw under top center needs to come out first.
