HWH Panel Cover

A couple of the buttons had poked their way through, so it was time for a new one. Ours is mounted behind the dash, which requires you to remove the panel to do the swap.

Where to get them

I purchased mine from Northwest RV Supply You can search on Lexan and see if they list the correct part for your panel. If the part is not listed, contact them, they should be able to get it. The items are either dropped shipped from HWH or purchased from HWH and then shipped out.

I did that as HWH does not provide convenient on-line purchases. You can find the parts in their HWH Store add them to a cart, fill out a rather long cart form and then HWH will contact you via telephone to arrange for payment. The price from HWH direct was the same as Northwest.

Installation

Release the cable retainers and detach the control cable. Ours had a rather dated style retainer, ones that are easily broken as they have long arms that extend off the PWA; be careful with those while the panel is out.

Once the cable is off, there are 4 nuts that hold the PWA to the dash; remove those and slide the control panel off and out. Ours was a snug fit on the bolts, so I had to walk it off a little at a time, moving from corner to corner.

Peel the old label off; most of the glue came off with the old label, but some was left behind, which I removed with goo gone. Next, peel the backing off the new label and stick it down. Be sure you have the panel and label oriented correctly; you don’t want to stick it down upside down :D

Slide it back on the posts, lightly secure the nuts (you don’t want to crack the panel), plug the cable back in, and swing the retainers back into place.
