Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this weathershield will fit my awning?
This weathershield is designed for 16-foot Dometic and A&E patio awnings. Measure your awning from end to end when fully extended. If your awning measures 16 feet and has the standard weathershield mounting rail on the roller tube, this part will fit. Check your existing weathershield for the part number to confirm compatibility.
Can I install this weathershield myself?
Yes, most RV owners can install a replacement weathershield with basic tools. The weathershield slides into the mounting channel on your awning roller tube. You may need to partially extend the awning to access the mounting area. Having a helper makes the job easier, especially for proper alignment.
Why is my weathershield important for awning longevity?
The weathershield is your awning's first line of defense against UV rays, moisture, and debris. Without proper protection, awning fabric can fade, develop mildew, and deteriorate prematurely. A quality weathershield can extend your awning's life by several years and keep it looking newer longer.
What if my weathershield is torn or damaged?
Replace it immediately. A damaged weathershield allows UV rays and moisture to reach your awning fabric, leading to rapid deterioration. Even small tears can expand quickly due to wind and travel vibration. Replacing the weathershield is far less expensive than replacing the entire awning fabric.
