WeatherShield Care and Maintenance

Congratulations on the Purchase of Your WeatherShield Vinyl Roll-Up System!

After installation, you will receive a blue warranty registration card to be filled out by the dealer or yourself. It is important for this card to be returned to Screen America Corporation so that your unit’s information can be recorded and registered in our database.

Our standard warranty includes five years on the motor, one year on the balance of the electronics, and a limited lifetime warranty detailed on the warranty card.

Lubricating the Tracks

We recommend using Fehr a non-petroleum-based dry silicone spray to lubricate the track assembly. 

With the vinyl in its up position, spray the section of track that the vinyl is retained in. Roll the vinyl down, then spray the edge where it contacts the track. Let dry and any “sticking” should disappear. Depending on your location, this process should be performed every 3-6 months.

Cleaning the Vinyl, Housing & Aluminum Track

To extend the life of your vinyl system, we recommend the following: 

1. Monthly (with normal use) apply a solution of water mixed with a non-abrasive liquid detergent (Dawn dish soap) using a soft cloth, to both the front and back of the vinyl.
2. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth or chamois.
   DO NOT SPRAY INSIDE THE MOTOR OR HOUSING UNIT 
3. Apply 303 Aerospace Protectant according to directions.

Contact your Screen America Authorized Dealer to see if they offer a maintenance program that suits your needs. 

CAUTION

The vinyl system is not designed to protect interior areas in adverse windy conditions. If this situation arises, your vinyl system should be rolled up to protect it from damage. 

Monthly (with normal use)

Follow the directions on the 303 Aerospace Protectant by applying a thin layer to both the front and back of the vinyl. Wipe completely dry with a soft cloth. (If streaking occurs, too much product has been applied and can be removed by using a damp towel and finishing with a dry, soft cloth). To increase the longevity, repellency, and bonding of the product, periodic buffing with a soft, dry cloth is recommended.

Additional cans of 303 Aerospace Protectant are available from your Screen America Authorized Dealer.
