Have seen this in many houses. Absolute nightmare. You'll get it attached ONCE. Then never again. If it comes off for any reason, might as well throw it away as an act of God will not get it back over the other peice, either on dryer, or vent. Try cutting a little off to open it up? Not unless you want the entire thing to unravel until you have a slinky that doesn't work as a slinky. I would fight the person who invented this if possible.
