When you install you new ones, make sure that the flap swings freely. It should open when the fan is running and swing closed when not.

The original screw holes for mine caused the housing to slightly squeeze into the flap and prevent it from moving. I had to take them back off and scrape that sides of the flaps to make them slightly smaller. Then re-installed. Done
