Fender skirt is a wind scoop!
On my unit the curb side fender skirt is split into two parts and the long piece of the skirt moves out with the slideout...but the front of the fender skirt on the slide acts like a wind scoop when we travel. I always thought the wind scoop would put undo pressure on the fender skirt. There is a fender screw about 6” from the front of the scoop so the cantilevered scoop is only about 6” long. Last year I secured all the fender screws and put silicone on the back side and they have all held up.
Today DW noticed the cantilevered piece and it’s silicone caulk has come loose and I’m sure it vibrates in the wind during travel. Does anyone have a solution to a fix to keep the wind scoop anchored in place? Or should I not worry about it?
