Here is the mad solution: Take it out! The VSI is not
required for any kind of flight, including instrument flight.

Put a cover there. Go get your signoff.

Put it back.

It will indicate a bit flakily when not connected to the static
system. For example, it will take a jump when you open
your pilot window in flight.

I like Mike's solution: See if it was ever connected. I can't imagine
that having it connected is required for the static check.

A lot of homebuilders don't use a static port at all. They just use the
cabin air for static, this works fine for slower airplanes.
