In washing the roof of my rig, I managed to crack the lid on the Ventline V2095 vent in my half bath. Turns out it was pretty brittle and was sure to break sooner or later.
In looking for a replacement to that, I made another find I was not aware of and wanted to share. If you have one of these older vents, you know that to clean the screen thoroughly you really have to remove the inside trim and then the frame with the screen in it. A pain.
What I discovered is that Ventline has a retrofit kit where you can replace the screen frame with a new one that has a removable screen. Very affordable and will make cleaning much easier going forward. This also solved another problem for me - the old screen frame had warped a bit due to heat I guess, and sometimes the fan would rub on the screen.
You can get these at any number of dealers, but here is an example:
