Thanks everyone...!

These are easy to replace. A good thing because they only last around five years. The sun causes the plastic to weaken and crumble.
The job is pretty easy. You may need a #2 Robertson screwdriver (square tip) and/or a #2 Phillips screwdriver (crosspoint tip). From the inside, unscrew the knob, remove the screen, and unscrew (2 screws) the crank assembly. Slide the arm up the track until you can remove it.
Get a long-nose pliers and go onto the roof. You can now lift the vent cover. You will likely see that the hinge is two interlocking C-shaped pieces of metal. The only thing that keeps you from sliding the cover off is a small piece of the C-shaped metal on the cover is bent over so it won't slide over the stationary C-shaped metal. Bend that little tang with your long-nose pliers, and slide the cover off.
If you're really not sure which type you have, take it to a local RV supply and ask them to match it. If you look first, before disassembly you might able to match to an Amazon picture and buy the cover in advance.
Slide the new cover on, and bend the little tangs on both ends, so it doesn't slide off. Go back inside. Re-assemble the crank assembly. Don't forget that you have to insert the arm in the far end of the slide and slide it down before putting in the two screws. Then place the screen and attach the knob.
