Wrong size Maxxair vent cover

[sknight603]

I ordered this fan cover from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However, when the rain sensing maxxair fan is all the way open, this cover is not tall enough for the fan hood. It is maybe 4 inches too short.
I did not know there were two kinds of rain sensing maxxair fan covers.

Does anyone have a link to one that does fit?

I did the same thing. The fan top hit the cover when opening. Maxair said this is normal. The fan top stops on resistance both opening and closing. Put it on and enjoy.

Agreed. Not a normal operation for sure.

I took mine off, now it seems like it has better venting capabilities, I think with the cover on it prevented the fan from venting properly.

The cover probably does restrict a little but do you really need that much volume for venting?

It depends on the temperature and if you want to run the noise maker (AC) or not?.

Have same cover, installed by dealer and no issue thus far. It does stop when it hits, and not enough difference in airflow to worry about IMO. Maxxair website details that it will hit and stop if used with their Maxxfan or other brand fan... but won't hurt unit. Maxxair also states that the "Fanmate" cover is the one specifically designed for their Maxxfans if you are worried about it.
