Has anyone noticed that the dash vents cannot be closed?

Was seeing some photos and if i'm not mistaken the dash vents cannot be closed individually, or am i mistaken?
Can someone confirm it?

They are closed by pointing the vent down. Cheaper to produce that way :wink:

Quite a common problem on some new vehicles. Make sure lights are off before starting or change to LED`s.

Only problem is that latest transits have drl's and stupid ford made them so they turn on before the engine turns on instead of the drl's turn on a second after the engine has started.
