Setup and Installation
The Carbest Roof Hatch Protective Cover is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps for optimal fit and protection:
- Prepare the Roof Hatch: Ensure the surface of your caravan's roof hatch is clean and dry. Remove any debris, dust, or moisture to ensure a secure fit and prevent damage to the cover or hatch.
- Position the Cover: Carefully place the protective cover over the roof hatch. The cover is designed to fit snugly over compatible Carbest and REMItop models.
- Secure the Edges: Gently pull the elasticized edges of the cover down around the base of the roof hatch. Ensure the cover is evenly distributed and fully encapsulates the hatch for maximum protection and insulation. The elastic band will help hold it in place.
- Verify Fit: Once installed, check that the cover is securely in place and does not obstruct any moving parts of the roof hatch. It should be taut but not overly stretched.
