CAMEC Four Seasons Panel Replacement


If the front panel is inadvertently left up when towing the strong winds can pull it loose allowing wind and rain to easily get in.  If the panel has been retained by its operating spring it's an easy fix.  But even if it is lost replacement is still simple.

 

As panels may take some time to be delivered relocating the rearward panel to the front needs to be done asap.

 Setup - You need a low platform or ladder, a flat tool (screw driver) and a pair of needle nosed pliers (or similar)

1. Remove the fly screen on both panels - lift the 2 clips at the bottom of the screen

2. Wind out the panels (CAMEC label will be upside down)

 

The panels have 3 fixing points, the operating spring, a solid pivot at one end and a spring loaded one at the other end.

To remove a panel -

3. Take out the operating spring retaining pin. Start by pushing it with a flat tool, then pull it with needle nosed pliers

4. Push the panel to the solid pivot end then push the spring pivot end horizontally outward

5. Pull the panel inside

 

To fit a panel -

6. Push the replacement panel out through the opening

7. Attach the spring, push the pin home with the flat tool

8. Push the solid pivot into its hole

9. Tilt the panel so that the spring pivot pin swings downward and moves inside the vertical bezel ...

10. Tilt the panel upward so that the spring pin slides along the bezel to its hole

Easy.
