If I were ordering a new Escape I would try to have one of the JR vents installed vs. the Ventline yellowing range vent. I just installed a white one on a 21 Escape. When I was sealing the new vent I wished I had ordered a black vent to match the windows, entrance lights and body trim strip.

Installation: The screw holes of the new vent pretty much match up to the old vent. Escape had really sealed the old vent in place, it took a while to remove the old vent. One #8 screw was stripped out but with all the sealant it did not matter. I replaced the stripped screw with a #10 screw. The vent hole needed to be enlarged. The top of the hole was OK in relation to the screws. Each end had to be trimmed about 1/8" and the bottom need to be trimmed about 1/4". To trim the small amounts a multi-tool did the job. Besides sealing the vent in place the hood also has to be sealed.

Thanks Eddie, the new vent looks great! Scott
