whyverne14 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I swear I get a bigger kick of simple hack fixes than I do from doing it "right". The rear roof vent was working fine until the Dolphin was baking out there in the sun. Then it didn't want to open. You know, just when you need it the most? So I'm thinking that the goop on the roof is softening up in the sun and sticking to the vent. That lifting thingy looks kind of cheesy and I sure don't want to force it. If the ladder was still there, I could climb up there and check; but it isn't. Hmmm. So I walked down to the house and got a wire coat hanger and cut off the bottom part. Went back up and poked a tiny hole in the screen, inserted coat hanger and "pop" opened the vent. Then I threw the wire into a drawer and checked another problem off the list. Done and done.

linda s Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have purchased roof vents on Ebay for as little as 20 dollars. If it's that old it's going to crack or leak soon. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
