Very good information!
Instead of detaching the vents and add felt, I wonder if simply blocking the sensor by sticking some insulating layer on it would have similar result.

It's much easier to block the leak in the vents. Even with insulation if cold air is hitting it - it will eventually cool down the insulation and then the sensor. All you'd be doing is delaying the inevitable.
