Seems like there’s a clip at the far end on the vent flap. Be careful with it, I believe those are discontinued and good one are hard to find.

Only early squares have the cable vent controls. Later models, the vent pull is all plastic. To remove the knob, remove the cable from the vent. Disconnect the loop of the cable at the vent door. The cable assembly is locked in the plastic vent cover with spring loaded fingers. Remove the screws holding the plastic cover over the vent.
Now with the cover and cable off, you can accesses the fingers to push the cable assembly out. Cut the rubber knob off with a hack saw, don't cut the metal stem. I did this so I could install my chrome metal knobs.
