All Carlsnauts are a pain to close, though. So that's OK.
Ok, because at first I thought it was defective, but I now posted a picture!
Nope, my Ventus one is the same way. Basicly, look at the three tabs on his side parts. There are three different designs. One coming out of the left hand side of the tab, one on the right hand side, and one in the middle. The one with the middle design goes on top, closest to his head. It should close every time then.
