How to insulate?

i ran into the same problem. even tho the flapper was in good working order, i still got a lot of really cold air coming in. i finally just disconnected the fan and shoved some insulation into the vent stack on the roof. i opened it up again in March. to combat the moisture in the bathroom, we made sure the door was always left open when not in use and i installed a wall mounted fan up in the ceiling corner that blew the air towards and out the door. you can also buy a product that removes excess moisture from the air (its a small plastic container, the top of it is filled with white crystals) works very good.

you are out of luck
the only thing you can do is make sure you have a flapper on the outside of the vent
or disconnect the vent and block the hole with insulation

is this an electric exhaust vent/fixture... the vent may just be venting into your attic space you need to find out where it is venting to and see if the small trap door (which closes when not used) is stuck or broken.
