Not as easy as the salesperson or the box made it out to be. First of all, no instructions as indicated on the box. Had to climb up on the roof to make sure I had the correct replacement cover. Whew, I did! Looked simple enough. Not really. Decided to "google" information on the job. Found two You Tube videos. Didn't match up exactly but close. Climbed back down and went inside to remove the knob and screen. Knob came out fine, screen was attached to the whole unit. Had to get four screws out and remove the unit. Pondered how to get that arm loose to move it in position to slide it down to the release point. Should the cover be up or down? It was trial and error. One more trip up the ladder. With the cover fully up, couldn't get to the hinge. Back down to lower the cover and then back up to move the metal tabs to release the cover from the hinge. Now back down to put the cover back up in open position. Removed the screws on the base of the arm and slid the arm down to loosen it from the cover. Now back up to slide out the old cover and replace with new one. Locked tabs in place and back down ladder. Back inside to reattach the the arm, replace the screen unit and knob. What sounded like a 5-10 minute job wound up being about an hour with sore knees from up and down the ladder.
Not sure what lesson I learned. Maybe patience, perseverance, internet research, most jobs take longer than you think, etc..
Back in the RV travel mode after sitting on the sidelines for a year. Just getting things ready to roll.
Hope you enjoyed my little story of a simple repair job.
