Noisy banging range hood exterior vent flap fix??
I'm in the RGV so wind is a daily issue. The flap bangs and the noise disturbs us.
My previous RV had an exterior flap that I could latch closed from inside the RV. This RV has a plastic flap with two little tabs to hold it closed. They are effective but even though I'm tall I can't reach them without 2 steps of a ladder against the outside of the rig. It's a pain to constantly close and open it.
I've been thinking of putting a weight on the flap to dampen its movement or maybe weatherstrip to stop had plastic banging on hard plastic.
Anybody have this problem and come up with a solution? No, earplugs don't help.
BTW, this vent is also for the microwave which is over the range so there is no easy access to it from inside.
