I opened the vent and used a small L tool usually included in trim removal kits (Tanstic 85Pcs Auto Trim Removal Tools Kit Auto Trim Tools Clip Pliers Fastener Remover Set Car Retainer Clips Set for Car Dash Audio Radio Door, Car Upholstery Repair Kit with Storage Bag : Amazon.ca: Automotive) similar to a screwdriver. Opened the vent, fed it through the vent and hooked and pulled at the top and the bottom of the vent to dislodge the clips (one at the top and bottom of the unit). Just be careful, as I used my hands to pull the chrome trim around the vent assembly and it came apart in my hands. Had to reassemble. :cry: Here's a pic of the assembly (note the clip at the top, similar one at the bottom of unit.) :
