Bottom vent doesn't completely close.

Is this the way it's supposed to be? It's got a 1/2 inch gap.

No, the bottom vent should close completely. I would check for a small piece of lump or ask buildup in the track it slides in.

Try having the mesh slide on the inside with the solid slide on the outside.Greensboro North Carolina

I think your metal slide should run outside of the screen. I had the same problem with mine.

Thanks. Bought this one second hand and that's how it's was when I got it.

The egg looks used, so this probably didn't come that way. You probably slid the solid door too far to the right. One way of preventing this from happening, in the future, is to get someone to help you reposition the egg slightly in the nest so that the large tab on the solid "outer" slide hits the nest leg before it slides completely off the "inner" screen.
Edit: Damn good thing I wasn't born in the 1850's ... I'd of been shot early in life for being such a slow draw. Geez, four people posted while I typed.

Yes, what everyone else said. I posted before the pic was posted.
