    Amazing how some ideas come about. I wouldn't even think of doing that, but I guess it will work if the expansion and contraction doesn't break something

    Interesting configuration.

    This vent looks like it is asking to be broken off.

    That radiator will get some steam but it will have a pocket of air at the bottom, perhaps that air may find its way to the other radiator and vent there. I don't believe that vent will break off after it is covered with the bench that his wife will be sitting on.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    @EdTheHeaterMan I meant the vent I circled in red right next to the doorway, Upper right of the picture.
