Step 1: Remove the gasket by pulling the gasket away from the bridge.

Step 2: Remove the 4x screws, as shown below by the red arrows, using a Torx 15 screwdriver or drill bit.

Step 3: You then need to remove barrel bolt. You can remove this by removing the screw shown below by the red arrow.

Step 4: Then you simple lift the barrel bolt away from the window.

Step 5: With our tool supplied (or you can use a small flat head screwdriver if you do not have the tool) you need to disengage the vent bar by:
1. Inserting the tool into both sides of the clip then lift the front of the clip to release from the lock mechanism (take caution to protect around the clip to avoid any damage)
2. Remove the cable flex from the middle of the clip

Step 6: Finally, lift the bridge away from sash and remove both screws as shown below then slide the ventilation bar away from the sash.

To refit the ventilation bar, please simply repeat the process in reverse.
