AC Shroud Blew Off
Has anyone had this happen to them? Just sitting in a parking lot, it blew off during a storm and smashed into a dozen pieces. Is this something we can replace ourselves (not very handy, mind you) or do we need professionals?

Re: AC Shroud Blew Off
I think this is a fairly common problem and they are replaceable. Unfortunately I don't know how they're held on to tell you how hard replacing one is.

Just 4 screws holding it on, 1 on each side at rear and 2 in the front...
Easy for you to replace if you feel comfortable getting on-top-of your rig....or, they are actually easy to get to from the sides from a step ladder
I suspect they are either missing or if they are still in place up there you will find 4 little pieces of the broken cover there where the rest blew off
There are a number of replacements available at a variety of prices related to quality and thickness.....
They get old and brittle
