Paul, I don't know that this will help you at all because so many of the guys who have a smart wheel feel like the clockspring is the problem. All I know is that my cruise control quit working because I left my exhaust brake on while I was driving, rather than just using it when needed on downhills and momentarily to help slow down from highway speeds. You might just glance at your exhaust brake switch and see if it is on, but this info is probably more useful to guys who have a "dumbwheel" like me. 🙂 Carey

Thank you, Jon! I did not have this info for my 2006 Cayman.

Dawn, as far as I know, the weep holes allow moisture that forms on the inside of your windows and runs down into the trough at the bottom to be drained to the outside of the coach. The covers that fit into the slots on the outside of your window frame help to keep wind noise down and dust/dirt from blowing in though the slots into your coach. I would think that there might also be a slight "venturi effect" when running at highway speeds that would help to draw the water out of the slots as well. If you would like to get some for you coach, send me a PM (personal message) and I will try to help you. Place your cursor over the green circle with the "I" in it and then scroll down to click on the box that says "message". Carey

Chris, I'm sending you a PM. Carey

Stuart, I am sorry, but I'm not sure what it is that your are asking or commenting on. I'm not even sure if your message was intended for me, but I just thought I would ask. Carey

Steve, I'm so glad that you were finally able to get your covers installed and that you are pleased with them! Thanks for taking the time to share your pics and thoughts. Carey

Hi Douglas, I sent you a PM. Carey

Thank you, John. So glad that everything worked out to your satisfaction, and thank you for your comments! Carey

Brian, I will PM you later this evening about these covers. Carey

Bob, I thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to the grandsons. Glad that you are happy with your Weep Hole Covers and that everything worked out well for you. Carey

Thank you Bill, for taking the time to clarify that! I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem with that one. Carey

Thanks Fred! Glad that you enjoyed the boys'notes and that you are happy with the Weep Hole Covers. Carey

Bill, I'm glad that you are pleased. The top picture looks great, but I am curious about the bottom picture. Is there a problem with that cover, or are you in the process of installing it? The way that I am recommending to install them is: "to insert the larger hook into the rear slot, slide the cover as far back as it can go. At that point the tip of the front hook will just start to fit into the front slot. Place your thumb on the 45 degree slant and push in and back at the same time. It will lock into place nice and tight." Carey

Michael please check your PM, I just sent you another message. Carey

Michael, I sent you a new PM. Carey

Thanks Bill! I hope you enjoy your weep hole covers. I'll see them tomorrow and I'll be sure to bring up the artwork business suggestion. 😉 Carey

Thanks for posting, John! Glad you are pleased. Carey

Rikki, I just finished PM'ing a bunch of folks with new order requests and jumped back on to the main thread only to see your post. My wife was putting the boys to bed upstairs and I called out to her and said, Babe, you and the boys have to come back down here and see this post! They were so excited to see their thank you notes in the pictures and hear all the kind words that you had to say. It was a great finish to a good day. Thank you so much for doing that! Carey

Thank you, Scotty! It is a great chance for them to learn about how a business operates, and I am very grateful that you and the other administrators are allowing them this opportunity. We are developing an appreciation for the adage "Not all Monacos are created alike". Even though most all of the windows that people have on their coaches are the same, we have come across at least two other versions that are quite different. (Actually, one of those was a Safari) Some of the early 2000's Monacos had weep hole covers that snapped in from the bottom instead of from the side. My son is in the process of designing a prototype for those windows with the help of one of our members, Tim-AZ , as he owns a coach with these windows and can test fitment for us. This has been a learning experience for all of us! Carey

Thanks, Robby! We are all so glad that you like them. Both of the grandsons are here spending a few days with us. They are excited to experience the next phase of "the business"! Customer feedback. You are the first to actually get your covers installed and leave some feedback. I know that a couple more guys should get theirs tomorrow. We are looking forward to hearing from them as well. I don't think that I have mentioned it yet, but the boys have decided to contribute 10% of their profit to SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE, a charity that builds beds for children who don't have a bed. Once again Robby, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I hope you and all the Monacoers on this forum have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year! Carey

Bart, It's a little business project for my 9 and 6 year old grandsons. (with the help of their dad of course) They are charging a dollar a piece for the covers and then they are mailing them in a Priority Mail box, with tracking for $10. That's exactly what it cost them to ship it. Carey

Here you go fellas. Carey Weep Hole Cover Right (Reinforced 2).stl Weep Hole Cover Left (Reinforced 2).stl

Okay Tom, I've got you down. Send me your mailing address if you don't mind. Thanks, Carey

Dan, I sent you a PM. I'm working on it. Carey

Well Guys, it looks like "we have a winner"! I got 3 different versions of the redesigned weep hole covers. I tested about 16 of them and they are GREAT! Not 1 of the 16 that I put on my coach broke a hook or had any issues at all. They all fit like a glove. My son beefed up the rear hook substantially. It is now about 5/16" to 3/8" long. The reason we wanted this this rear hook to be much stronger is because the rear of the cover is much more vulnerable to getting snagged by a rag or a brush when washing or drying the coach. The front of the cover, with its 45 degree slant is not likely to be snagged by anything, so that hook is not as big (although it is a lot more substantial than the first version). The way to install the covers is to insert the larger hook into the rear slot, slide the cover as far back as it can go. At that point the tip of the front hook will just start to fit into the front slot. Place your thumb on the 45 degree slant and push in and back at the same time. It will lock into place nice and tight. They are working on getting the new revision printed. It is a time consuming process, so hang in there. They will get everyone's order fulfilled in the order that they came in. It takes about 5-6 hours to print about 20 of the covers. I will be contacting you individually as your order is ready to ship. The preferred payment options will be Zelle or Venmo. If that doesn't work for you, don't worry, we will figure something out. The covers will look exactly like the black ones a few posts up. Only the size of the hooks (or tabs) will be bigger. Thanks, Carey
