Perhaps it is a change in outside turbulence that causes it to blow out
with the driver window open when it stays lit with the window up. Have
you tried the passenger window instead to see what the effect is?

With the outer plates of the vent off you should be able to use a piece
of hose or something to blow into one hole with your mouth while
blocking the other hole with you finger. That might give you an idea of
how much leakage there is if any.
