The attachment you've added isn't working.

You’ve already undone the locking screw on the left, now you pull it out from left side and it will click off the tang on the right (a little pressure on the frame edge inward does help the click, green dot)

theres a very small tounge on the right goes into a slots so as said left side out and a slight pull to the left if that screw was already out it may have been glued

Wayneliz. It's exactly as others have advised.

Cheers,

Jock.

Sometimes the vents stick to the "overspill" bedding compound that the vent housing is sealed in with. Leave it parked in the sun for a couple of hours to help it soften, then gently prise it away with a plastic spatula or similar, avoiding, as others have mentioned, the right hand edge which has the locating tab, but be careful, as the vents are made from "polycrackathene"

Very true.
