Removing Ascona roof vent?

[Gary Sullivan]

I have been struggling to get one of those rear roof vents out of an Ascona. Anyone had any experience trying to remove one of those?

I haven't messed with one in a while, but, I think there's a screw or two holding it from the insideunder the headliner, also it has a "tube" that goes up the "C" pillar....

In the Manta there were two types of vents. The older one is fixed with 3 bolts and a the last version were only pressure fixed!
I think that in the Ascona is similar!

BQS4 is right in every corner of the vent there's a M4 nut [7mm wrench] that holds the vent in place

Thanks everyone for the input. I went fishing around for hidden nuts and bolts and I guess different models are held in differently. This is a 75 Ascona and it had three plastic tabs along the inside edge running along the bottom. After cutting the sealant all the way around with a plastic putty knife, then I lifted up at the bottom and the thing swings up and out. It does have an air vent at the top so it can't come straight out. This one didn't have any mounts for any screws or bolts, just held in with those molded plastic clips on the bottom and rubber caulk.
