roof vents
Merry Christmas and happy New year
Ive got a 2016 3011 forester, Yesterday I was cleaning up the inside, after last weekend trip. I noticed water on the table, I found that all three of my roof vents were erroded on the fwd edge, I temp repaired the vents, Couple of the vents are paper thin, Has anyone ever had the same problem..( I got a 5th thats 20 yrs old no vent cover problems)

Talking the vent covers ? UV deterioration ? I replaced all my covers on our old trailer with UV resistant covers from E-Trailer and 5 years later when we sold it, they were still flexible and in great shape.

They are the 14x14 smoked color covers, that cover the vents in the b/r, bath, and over the table....I would say it was due to UV rays , but its only on the fwd edge, but ordering new ones from amazon. I got the maxair roof vent covers, but haven't had time to get them on

I don't have the MAXXAIR and I guess I still refer to my lids as covers.

OK the Pic is more clear now,IF the Maxxair covers had been installed in 2016 when your unit was New your Smoked Lids would still probably be in good condition! Also have you ever Traveled with your Vents OPEN, if so that is DEATH on the Cheap/Thin vent Lids! You can Travel with the vents Open Rain or Snow with Maxxair covers NO Water inside your unit! Youroo!!

Out west, they only last 2-3 years in the sun.
Just look at which hinge is on the lid and go to your local RV store and buy new ones. Very easy to change.
