I'd be happy to assist you with changing the roof vent on your 2016 SEAT Alhambra. Although I can provide guidance and advice, please keep in mind that performing any repairs or modifications on your vehicle should be done at your own risk, and it's always a good idea to consult a professional mechanic if you're uncertain.

To change the roof vent on your SEAT Alhambra, here are some general steps you can follow:

Gather the necessary tools: You may need a screwdriver, a trim removal tool, and possibly a socket set, depending on the type of fasteners used.

Access the roof vent: If the roof vent is located on the exterior, carefully climb onto the roof of the vehicle and locate the vent. If it's an interior vent, check for any trim or panels that need to be removed to access it.

Remove the fasteners: Depending on the specific design, the roof vent may be held in place by screws, bolts, or clips. Carefully remove these fasteners, keeping track of them for reinstallation.

Disconnect any electrical connections: If your roof vent is equipped with any electrical components, such as a fan or lighting, ensure that you disconnect the wiring harness or connectors before completely removing the vent.

Take out the old vent: Once all fasteners and electrical connections have been dealt with, gently remove the old roof vent from its mounting location. Be cautious not to damage the surrounding area or other components.

Install the new roof vent: Position the new vent in place and secure it using the appropriate fasteners. Make sure it is properly aligned and seated.

Reconnect electrical connections: If applicable, reconnect any electrical connectors or wiring harnesses to the new vent.

Test for proper installation: Before finishing up, double-check that the roof vent is securely in place. Test any electrical components to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Do you have the new vent? You should be able to see what holds the vent, I believe it is just push in place clips. I don't think it screws in from behind. Please upload the rear of the new vent so I can be sure for you.
