When I researched the archives about "roof vents", most of the threads discussed linkage problems. I've attached a couple of photos of the problem I'm having with metal fatigue. Apparently, when the vent's open, there's too much stress on the bracket that holds the control cable sheath. Anyone else see this sort of cracking/metal fatigue issue? Is this common in the short body Mooneys? What did you do about it? I'm guessing the best repair would be to remove the entire vent assemly and find a new one (someplace?) and rivet it in and paint it. However, that's a huge job and I'm not sure it's worth it. An exterior patch might work, but the vent wouldn't shut completely. The last picture shows my "interim fix". The PK screws allow me to use the vent, but they don't stop the cracking, or give proper support to the cable. Ideas?
