tree branch came down and poked a hole in the bathroom vent lid. So until or if I get around to replace it I made a patch for the hole and cracks. I had the heavy plastic clamshell from a staple gun I bought that had the correct bend that I needed so I cut a 3-4" strip and trimmed it to fit over everything then used a plastic gap sealant to glue it down to the vent lid then covered over the whole thing with more sealant. It should hold for now.
If you are ever caught with a leak, in one of these vents, since they always show up when it is raining, use a plastic trash bag and a shock cord. Pull the bag over the lid, then tighten the shock cord along the bottom like one would under a lip. You can even drive down the highway at highway speed.
I won't tell anybody how I learned this, or that I had a leak.
