Awning Light #2

Well had the awning light replaced today ( more specifically the awning light plastic cover ) by Paul from Karranvan.

It turned out to be a relatively easy job as the plastic cover is simply prised off being careful not to mark the van whilst doing so.

Paul put a wide scraper between the van and the cover to protect the van wall and used a screwdriver to lever it off,the new one just clips on with a bit of pressure.

I don't think that there is much need for the amount of sealant Bailey had carelessly lathered everywhere.

The end result looks better than the original as all the excess discoloured sealant that surrounded it has been removed.

Also the old cover had yellowed whilst the new one is white,I would have thought there would have been a bit more UV stability than there appears to be,the van is only two years old after all.

Replacing the LED strip,should it ever need doing,will be a bit of a circus as the LED bit is screwed and sealed to the side of the van and will take a bit of removing,it would have been handier if it just clipped out but it doesn't.

If you look closely at the picture you can see where I have touched up the door frame and the side of the van.

All in all not happy with the cause but very pleased with the rectification.
