    Pin hole and wire works for me. That hole can't be seen with the grill on or off really. Only perfectionists refuse to poke a hole in the dust caps.

    I use to be a perfectionist but life has worn me down and I accept and live with alot now that I wouldn't have 25 yrs ago. :D

    Now where's that needle.....;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    GAH! The word is DUCT not duck! It's tape that is used to secure two piece of DUCTing together. Usually the DUCTing is made or aluminum or galvanized steel hence the silver color of the DUCT tape so as to be aesthetically pleasing and maybe mask the presence of your handiwork.

    The tape, while good for many purposes, does surprisingly poorly at securing two water fowl together.

    Actually, the original tape was "DUCK" tape developed by the military as a waterproof tape .. not till later it was realized this tape can also be used for duct work.

    As far as the dust cap fix.. I have used a shop vac and the needle trick .. both work well ... the pin hole should not affect performance.. over time if enough dust gets in them maybe. even then I doubt will affect performance.
