The plastic vent cover should contact this sealing strip when closed. IIRC, I used some adhesive to hold the strip in place.
I checked the rubber seal around the metal flange and it's in good shape.
The entire vent assembly is in good shape. I think the vent cover doesn't sit snug enough against the thin rubber seal and lets air get through.
I'm going to see if the hardware store sells thin, self-adhesive weather stripping that I can stick to the vent cover flange to lessen the gap between the side of the rubber seal and the vent cover.

I know you don't really like the idea (for reasons that I cannot fathom), but I would heartily recommend the vent cover as well. I have them on nearly all my ceiling vents--the exception being one that is immediately next to the air conditioner where many vent covers would adversely affect the air flow through the AC--and I would not want to be without them. Being able to have the vents open without fear in adverse weather conditions and when driving down the road are tremendous advantages.
