Replace Broken Trailer / RV Roof Vent Cap

Heres an easy and affordable way to replace the vent cap on your trailer. This will work for nearly any trailer that has a 14 inch x 14 inch vent cap. They are rather generic and can be found on RV's as well as a multitude of trailers. Mine has broken many times, often because of the weight of snow on it. In this video I'll show you how to quickly replace the cap.
Here is the link to the cap I got from Amazon.

Note that there is a tab at each end of the channel on the vent cover. You can see one of them at the 0:53 second mark. When bent down, these prevent the cover from sliding out of position. For removal, at least one need to be pried back out.
When installing, I’d suggest bending one tab down before sliding on the cover. Once in place, bend the other one down.

Thanks for the tip!

I’d also suggest attaching the hardware for the new vent cap while you’re still on the ground. The kit I bought off Amazon had a bunch of tiny nuts and bolts. It was easy to assemble following the included diagram, but if one of those nuts rolled off the roof, you’d be very lucky to find it.

[@NatalieMichelle-vb7ng]

Too bad you didn't film the most difficult part. Kinda a waste of time.
