Anyone having trouble with the fender extentions coming off? They are plastic and the screws are vibrating through. Does Heartland have a fix for this cheap way of extending the fenders? Oh and they painted the coach after they installed the extentions.
I have had the same issue with my BigHorn. Only fix I have found is to put some glue, permatex, etc on the screws and replace them. So far (3 trips) it has worked without the screws loosening again.
Besides most of the screw holes are stripped out, the biggest cause is the flimsy brackets they to secure the center at the bottom. I just fixed mine this weekend. I made new brackets from some scrap 1" aluminum angle. Depending on the model you have...every bracket mounts different. You just have to wing it. Mine are as solid as a rock now. No more flapping in the breeze. 1 thing that helped was getting longer screws and drilling into the steel bracing for the slides for the screws that are that high. I also installed speed nuts behind some of them.
