THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN RVE SHUTTERLID.
With proper care and maintenance, the lid will provide many years of
satisfactory operation.
Warranty notes:
Your RVE Shutterlid is covered against factory defect for a period of 3 years.
Although every care is taken upon installation to maximise weather resistance,
the RVE shutterlid is not guaranteed to be waterproof.
Warnings:
Do not stand or place any heavy objects directly onto the RVE Shutterlid.
There are options available with Roof-rack products that will allow carrying
loads above the RVE Shutterlid.
The RVE lids has a moving top cover, which poses a mechanical hazard
– use with care. Do not allow animals or humans under the RVE Shutterlid.
Maintenance is required to maintain optimal performance and warranty of
your RVE Shutterlid.
Where possible, do not operate the RVE Shutterlid if water is puddled on top.
Since the lid rolls onto itself, some water will get in contact with the bottom side
of the shutters, which can drip inside the tray and be confused for a water leak.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
As with anything mechanical, some minor maintenance is required from time to time.
With normal use, check lid with every car wash, or once a month.
Some friction and difficulty to achieve normal operation are usually a good indication
that the lid is overdue for some TLC.
¤A clean RVE Shutterlid, is a happy Shutterlid.
- Wash with car wash soap only. Do not use harsh solvents or
other chemicals.
- Use a microfibre cloth to wipe dirt and dust from the siderail grooves.
- Generously apply silicone lubricant spray into the side rail grooves.
Spraying while operating the lid (opening and closing) achieves good results.
¤Check for and clear obstructions from the drain tubes.
- Pull drain tubes from the tray, then twist 90 degrees anticlockwise to remove from
shutter lid cartridge.
- If there is any evidence of a blockage, have a bucket handy under these tubes
- Poke a round object (screwdriver, dowel, stick or similar) into the cartridge drain
holes, to push away anything that may be blocking the holes.
- Inspect the tubes and remove any debris stuck inside them that could potentially
inhibit drainage.
- Secure the tubes to the drain holes by twisting the tube connector 90 degrees
clockwise into the Shutter LId cartridge insert the other end of the tube through to
holes in the tray.
¤Regularly check that the lid is secured to the vehicle tray.
If tightening is required, it can be achieved by tightening the
internal clamps with a 11mm socket or spanner.
