Having read your install information, we are thinking that those are mounting bolts for the Vent Cover.
Is there a difference between the Vent Cover you ordered and the Vent Cover we purchased at CW?
I am attaching photos of Rons investigation a few minutes ago...

What is your educated opinion ?

Thank you !

Hello Folks,
I have read the follow-up comments about those four "globs" and the concerns... First, what you bought is the same brand, MaxAir, but not the same model. I bought the "fanmate featuring the EZClip by Maxxair". My model is the white one #855.


The great thing about the install was that each cover has four big "EZ Clips" looking like large cotter pins in a way. To install, the covers have holed notches that fit over those "globs" and the clips get pushed through them, thus holding them in place and easy to remove for cleaning if necessary. You can also order the filter/bug screens if you want them, which I didn't bother with. Again, NO drilling and only took minutes to install.
