RickA Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hi Gang Some time ago the topic of adding the furry strips to the sides of the Dometic windows was introduced.When we arrive back in Qld. I would like to attempt to do this job myself.I have just replaced the rear blind without to much trouble,so now I know how to take them apart and put them back together.(Blinds)Any help on this subject would be appreciated.

Chris Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hi Rick.We upgraded ours about a year or so ago, with Val doing the work himself. Dometic gave us the following instructions which came in very handy. I think I have attached it somewhere else on this forum but not sure where! You know where we live to ask for further directions ChrisDometic Window upgrade procedure.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickA Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks ChrisI thought it was you and Val that had done your windows,but I could not find any directions on the Keddy site.They will be a great help.We won`t worry about the Chrome strips at this stage, as we have already filled the gaps sometime ago with filler. If I get stuck you can come up and help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 If I get stuck you can come up and help Well not me, you understand. It is the Val half of this duo who you would need... But in the mid months of this year, yes we will be heading northwards, sort of. We plan to head up to alice Springs then over the Plenty to QLD and brisbane, then back down to SA.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Kelly Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hi Chris,do you order the window strips directly from Dometic ??Regards, JK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 do you order the window strips directly from Dometic ??JK,Yes you will need to contact Dometic directly and arrange it. I believe Kedron gave us the contact details but you will find it in a search engine, I am sure!Installing the fix did make a big difference to the insect problem.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickA Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just got a quote from Dometic for the window upgrade kit. $90 all up for all 8 windows of various sizes. A pleasant surprise. Somebody told me they were very expensive?? The kits inc. the caterpillars and the stick on strips to block the slits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
