How is the Fantastic Fan installed? Do you have to take the stock vent out from the roof - meaning re-caulking the new one?
Basically remove everything, clean, and reinstall. I chose not to use the butyl tape install kit (sold separately) and instead used only black silkaflex-221 because I really wanted a single product sealing the whole thing instead of silkaflex-to-butyl-to-roof. The install I removed had glue, foam, tape, and two or three types of sealer, rust and required not only repainting but I had to rebuild some things- but that's all vehicle side. The fans themselves were practically identical (only the 3 front screw holes didn't line up (????)).
I found the silkaflex really easy to work with too, even though I originally bought it because I needed paintable black.
Really if there isn't damage to your roof the hardest part of replacing might be getting access to the roof.
