I'll be looking at the latest squawk this weekend - my pax reported their eyeball panel vent wouldn't work. They tried Turing the collar and no joy. Tried poking the shutter vanes open with a pinkie without success - would open then close again under air flow pressure. Appears to be disconnected internally. This is one of the high quality $$$$$ black anodized vents from an outside vendor I've since forgotten. Either Stein or Advanced Flight, I'm guessing.
I forgot about the issue until now (it's not on my side of the cockpit so not my problem LOL). Anything I should be aware of as to failure modes on these things?
Best pic I have of the buggers is attached.
