Window gutters

[Gliddenwoods]

I will have my annual ceramic coating inspection and update next week and at that time the technician will strip the ceramic coating in locations to install the flexible window gutters other Oliver owners have installed.

Quick questions:

*How far (inches) above and beyond & down the sides of the windows  do you recommend?

*Any installation advice to share with the technician?

Thanks.

As has been written many time here on the Forum - 

install these "gutters" on a very warm day and/or use a hair dryer or strong warm sun to warm both the area where the gutters will go and the gutters themselves, clean the area where they are to be applied VERY well, apply blue painters tape over the gutters to hold them securely in place for at least 24 hours.

Due to the gutters wanting to stay straight and not bend around the curve of the windows, the more surface area that you give to be stuck to the side of the camper the better.  If I had mine to do over again, I'd take the gutter down the sides of the windows just shy of 1/2 way - I only went down about 3 inches and that is not enough.

Good luck!

Bill:  Once again sage advice regardless of which product to be used.

I tend to latch on to good recommendations and "immortalize" them into a Do-It-Yourself guides.  Attached are two of mine that I intend on using in the Summer  2025 voyage around the US.  As always, many much smarter owner's work has shamefully been copied for these guides.
