    At least yours just blew off, it happens. Now the one on my Imagine got peeled off on a roof support beam in my former storage area while I was backing in lol. No other damage, just surgically removed the awning motor cover. Dealer comped me one, all good.

    Thanks Dick. That sounds like a much better option.

    The water heater cover on many uses a plastic clip which can easily break. I just bought a metal one at a Gander RV to replace the plastic one on the Raptor.

    2nd the replace with the metal tab. I just completed the home study RV Maintenance Technician/Inspector Course ftom NRVTA and that was one thing they hammered home - replace the plastic tabs with metal. I found a package of 2 at CW for $7.

    I have also lost that awning cover within the first two months and the way they kind of snap in seem to be a problem. When I replaced it I went ahead and taped the seam with a strong clear plastic tape on all the cover seems and haven't had one fall off yet.

    Did you use clear packaging tape or something heavier duty?

    I used a clear repair tape from Home Depot. Not sure of the brand but it's heavier than a packaging tape.
