Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to replace my awning weathershield?
Replace your weathershield if you notice cracking, tearing, excessive fading, or if it no longer wraps securely around the rolled awning fabric. A damaged weathershield can allow moisture and UV rays to deteriorate your expensive awning fabric, leading to premature failure. If your weathershield is missing entirely or has separated from the awning roller, replacement is essential to protect your investment.
Will this weathershield fit my 15-foot Dometic awning?
This weathershield is specifically designed for 15-foot Dometic 9100 series power awnings. To confirm compatibility, measure your awning length when fully extended (should be 15 feet) and verify your awning model number, typically found on a label on the awning arm or roller tube. If you have a different Dometic awning series or a manual awning, contact our parts specialists to verify fitment before ordering.
Can I install this weathershield myself or do I need a professional?
Most RV owners with basic mechanical skills can replace a Dometic awning weathershield themselves. The process typically involves removing the end caps, sliding off the old weathershield, positioning the new one, and reassembling the components. However, you'll need to work carefully with the awning roller tube and may need an assistant to help manage the 15-foot length. If you're uncomfortable working with your awning mechanism or lack the proper tools, professional installation is recommended to avoid damage to the awning system.
Does the weathershield come with installation hardware?
This weathershield is sold as the vinyl cover component only. Installation typically requires the existing hardware from your awning system. If your end caps, mounting brackets, or other hardware components are damaged or missing, you may need to order those separately. Check your current awning setup before installation to ensure you have all necessary mounting components in good condition.
