Usually no need to replace to goop on the roof, if you are adding the same brand of fan. I took out the vent in mine and replaced it with a fantastic fan by just dropping the fan guts into the hole and wiring it up.

Interesting!!!!!!!! That would be a best case scenario. A question for FWC to see if the vent and Maxx Air fan are interchangeable.

Sounds like a warranty issue, if only 6 months old.

You could google the installation manuals for each.  They should list the opening dimensions.  I suspect they are identical.

I recently replaced my fantastic fan with a maxx air and getting the goop off was quite easy. I'd been dreading doing it but the project was quite easy. Worst part was the laying on the roof and try to make sure I didn't dent the roof.

Good to know, thanks!

I just received prompt word from FWC. They will take out the defective vent and replace it with a Maxx-Air fan under warranty. My props go out to FWC for standing behind their product and components.

FWC and ATC have always stood behind their products.

Hey, quick question for those who are running the Maxx-Air fans. 

 

Is there a way to open the fan just a few inches, or is it all or nothing????
