Why are there locking tabs on this? Travel in the rain? Just curious. I'll never remember to unlock/relock these untill it's too late. Too much little stuff to remember. Yeesh.

Going down the road will make them disappear into "never-never land" never to be seen/found again. Just put a magnetic reminder on the hood to open when parked and close when leaving or put it on your "check lise".

Only time I lock my flapper is when we put it in storage for the winter. I then unlock it in the spring after it's bath. Never had a problem with it going down the highway flapping.

I usually glue a magnet to the base and a washer to the flap- this holds them closed until the fan comes on.

We do all our cooking outside so we rarely if ever open that vent !!

Sometimes they flop in the wind and make noise so it's nice to be able to latch it shut.

I never had a problem with mine flapping either. Only had a problem when it went missing.

mine doesn't always close tight...makes it easy for flies to get in if I don't latch it.

We keep our latched to keep the critters out. It only takes a few seconds to unlatch it.
