Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to replace my weathershield?

Replace your weathershield if you notice cracking, tearing, or if it no longer seals properly against the roller tube. Signs of a failing weathershield include water stains on your awning fabric, mildew growth inside the housing, or visible gaps when the awning is retracted. If your weathershield is brittle or has pulled away from the mounting channel, it's time for replacement.

Will this fit my A&E brand awning?

Yes, this weathershield is compatible with both Dometic and A&E brand 6-foot patio awnings. Dometic acquired A&E Systems, and many parts are interchangeable. Measure your awning length when fully extended to confirm you have a 6-foot model before ordering.

How difficult is it to install a new weathershield?

Installation is straightforward for most RV owners. The weathershield slides into a channel along the awning roller tube. You'll need to partially extend your awning to access the installation area. The process typically takes 15-30 minutes and requires no special tools, though having a helper to support the awning while you work makes the job easier.

Can I use a longer weathershield and cut it to fit?

While it's technically possible to trim a longer weathershield, we recommend ordering the exact length for your awning. The 6-foot weathershield is pre-cut to the correct length with finished ends that ensure proper fit and appearance. Using the correct size eliminates cutting errors and ensures optimal protection.
