In the two corners closest to the seating positions there is a small cover that pops out and there is a torx screw under those covers.

There are two covers that have screws under them.
I don't know if removing them allows the vent to be removed.
You might have to remove the dash to get the vent out.

Yes, Then it should be able to be pulled out. I may be a little difficult. mine was very tight in there. 5 clips if my memory serves me correctly.
