Replacing a Roof Vent Cover
I've got to replace a cracked and leaking crank-up roof vent cover.
I've done it before to remove 3 covers and to paint them black.
The way I did it was, on the INSIDE, to TOTALLY disassemble the roof vent and unscrewing the crank-up mechanism from the cross bar. Only then could I get the sliding end of the crank up arm up to the keyhole in the roof cover.
Then on the OUTSIDE, to climb up onto the roof to slide-off the old cover and slide-on the new one.
There MUST be an easier way... Is there???
