Mine too broke first time used them. Here is the repair which I did - now b
een working for 8 years without problems.
1) take a cs machine screw - like the longer ones used to attach the cowlin
g.
2) countersink one of the large penny washers and attach the screw so you n
ow have a machine screw with a large flat head. I think I welded and ground
mine; araldite 420 might do it.
3) get rid of the plastic screw bit and grind/sand where it attaches to the
vent flat
4) screw the machine screw into the black knob on the vent casing. It will
cut its own thread
5) Put some araldite 420 on the washer/screw head and turn the knob until i
ts is hard against the vent. Let it set and all done.

Hi Remi,
Nice looking job!
This is a very similar solution to ours. This works well and is a good
adaption of an appallingly unacceptable piece of expensive rubbish.
In the UK we would define this product as 'unfit for purpose' and as such
should be outlawed. (but I suppose it is still being sold)

Hi Guys,
My solution to repair and improve the Naca vents was to remove the shut off
system, make a fiberglass conduit and install adjustable aluminium vents.
Works fine. See attached pics.
