Default Vent thingy above dome light

Hi all,

I've got a squeak/buzzing noise coming from the vent thingy between my dome light and sunroof. I have no idea what this "vent" does nor how to remove it to find the rattle. Can I pry it off without breaking something?

Default That "vent" is where the interior monitoring sensor for the alarm is now located (more)

Woofpup,

I have the dome light cover off and was able to pry open the front edge (the edge on the winshield side) of the motion sensor cover plate. It doesn't seem to want to completely come off.

Any ideas?
