Hi everyone, I just purchased a new shroud for my Dometic ac . My question it to what do I need to attach  the shroud with ? It didn’t come with any clips or screws … thank you 🎃

Most Coleman units have 4 studs topside that secure the shroud to the unit.

I would think dometic should be similar.

Take a picture of the shroud and the top of the A/C. I’ve never worked with dometic units. Didn’t you have an original shroud to use as a template?

Or, go to the mfg home page and download PDF for your unit.

Holy bat poop Batman, TWENTY SIX DOLLARS!   Go to the most expensive hardware store in your area and and buy the appropriate number of pan head 3/4 inch number 10 stainless steel screws and washers and install with them.  Save about $22.  Plus you can pick your own head style, philipps, torax, robertson.  Can drill the holes to install or buy self tapping screws. 

 

Or you could buy zinc plated #10 X 3/4 truss head screws, these also come in self tapping.    Cheaper but will rust over time.  The larger head or washer  is to keep the screw from working through the plastic over time.   #8 x 1/2" Standard Thread Phillips Truss Head Screws, Zinc, 100 Pack

So , here’s what almost always happens, I followed the measurements from the original Dometic A/C manual I have and bingo . I’m about 2.3 “ to short to meet the foundation plate…
