Mine did that first try. I just forced it open a couple of times and it doesn't do it anymore. There must be a little flashing on the plastic.
Goofiest Defect Yet!
Anyone have a fix for this? The passenger side air vent locks in position whenever it's fully closed. The dealership has replaced the vent twice and now, one of my %$#^& passengers decided she was cold and closed the ^%$*#& thing again. Now, it's locked shut AGAIN! Must be a design defect. Anyone have a fix?

I had this too. Must be a design flaw.
My wife would like that feature. She wants her vents closed, temp up, and seat heater on year round.

Please send a check for $100.
Hot wife???? Send pics.My wife would like that feature. She wants her vents closed, temp up, and seat heater on year round.
Just apply some brute force to the vent control in the opening direction. Mine locked up so I just opened and closed it forcefully a couple of times and now it's fine. Are you a man or a mouse? Squeak up!
Man or a mouse? Here's a clue. My nickname is not "Binky".

When I closed the vent and it locked up it pissed me off. I had the advantage that I was in a fit of rage when I forced it back open and it fixed it. Try it you'll like it.Man or a mouse? Here's a clue. My nickname is not "Binky".

By the way, Thanks! Binky! Could not force the wheel to open, but sticking a screwdriver in and forcing the door open did the trick. Now, it doesn't stick anymore.
As I said earlier, I think there is a little bit of plastic flashing from the molding process that needs to get knocked off. It'd take somebody 5 seconds with a pocket knife to fix this at assembly.By the way, Thanks! Binky!
