I would never remove a vent unless the roof is getting replaced.
I clean real well around each vent and then I blue tape a nice straight line square configuration around each of the vents.

This helps keeps it from building up so high and works it into the surface to help assure good adhesion. After working the Dicor to a relatively thinner area nearer the masking tape I slowly pull each piece of tape off, carful not to mess up having a nice clean line.
Should be good to go. I have been doing this to each of my vents twice since I bought new 18 years ago.
