Grab it and pull from the sides. It is only held in by friction

Default Remove the rear window...

attach some industrial strength cable to the vent, and then attach the other end of the cable (through the rear window) to something torquey like an F350. Punch it in the F350, and it should pop right out.

That's what I had to do, at least.

Default Go to APR website, there is an instruction on how to install their vent gauge!

pretty simple actually, just pull the main vent out, pull it straight out towards the back seat, but becareful with the wires!
