Message:   Here's a couple of pics that might help. I think the first one is Jim's but can't remember for sure. The second one is mine after I had them ready to install. Be sure to find the top hidden screw and remove it before you try to remove the vent frame from the upper door frame. You will break the clip if you don't. FSM says to break the clip and use a new one when re-assembling, but the clips aren't available now so you have to save your old one. This shows the upper pivot screw and the location of the "hidden" screw. The pivot screws can be difficult to remove because the the threaded insert will spin. I was fifty-fifty on that, one of mine turned but the other one didn't.



This one shows the location of the bottom screw and the clip attached to the upper frame. After you get the vent frame out of the upper door frame you can get the clip out without breaking it. You re-attach it to the vent frame before re-assembling the door. When you push the frame into place it locks.
