Center Vent Fails to raise
#22
#24
Hi gang, I searched to see if anyone else had reported a similar problem but did not get any hits. Has anyone else had a problem with their center vent failing to raise on startup? Mine will only occasionally not open. It has happened now abut 6 times in 1 1/2 years of service, ironically twice on days when I was about to go to the dealer for service, but on the leg to the dealer, it magically opened with no problem?
I have a dash carpet(a necessity here in S.W. Fla for sun protection) and at first thought the fibers might be clogging the mechanism. The dealer checked on two occasions and found nothing clogging or restricting anything. At least the problem is logged into my service record for later reference??

through heat expansion. The solution is to remove the vent, remove the pivot pins, slightly open up the holes in the dog bones were the pins pivot, Lune it, put it back together and install part. I did that to mine serval years ago and have not had a problem since.
