Mine look like that. Do I push up on the tab where the #1 is pointed or up on the protruding part where the #2 is pointed? Click for bigger image.

I am wondering if everyone is leaving these open after getting it opened? Is there some disadvantage to leaving it open?
we had an awful time also, and thinking of leaving it opened unless we learn of a reason not to.
Based on prior threads discussing this point, I think most everyone travels with the vent open. Although harder to open, the redesign seems to protect it from wind damage.
It might be worth closing it when in storage over the winter.
I can tell you that small nesting birds find the open vent and set up house above your vent fan.
