Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this weathershield will fit my awning?
This weathershield is specifically sized for 16-foot Dometic patio awnings. Measure your awning fabric from end to end, or check your awning's model documentation. The weathershield must match your awning length exactly for proper fit and protection.
Can I install this weathershield myself?
Yes, most RV owners can install a replacement weathershield with basic tools. The weathershield typically slides into the existing track on your awning roller tube. You may need to remove the awning arms temporarily for easier access. Consult your awning's installation manual for specific instructions.
What causes weathershields to need replacement?
Weathershields deteriorate over time due to constant UV exposure, temperature extremes, and flexing during travel. Common signs include cracked or brittle slats, fading, torn material, or slats that have separated from the backing. Replacing a damaged weathershield prevents water and debris from damaging your awning fabric.
Will this black weathershield match my existing awning components?
Black is the most common weathershield color for Dometic awnings and typically coordinates well with standard awning hardware and roller tubes. The black finish also provides excellent UV resistance and hides dirt better than lighter colors.
