Solar vents delivered on Cobra trailers
When I went soaring yesterday, I noticed that the solar vent on my Cobra
trailer was not working. The vent was delivered from Germany already installed on the trailer about 2-1/2 years ago. The markings on the vent are "Intersolar" "SOLARVENT" "TYPE 27/28". After noticing problems with mine, I checked the other new-looking Cobra trailers in the line with identical vents. Of the 6 others there, vents on 3 were not working. With this sort of failure rate, I am suspecting that someone on r.a.s. has looked into either fixing them or repairing them. I live in the U.S., so any leads on parts suppliers in this country would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan |

You've checked that all the vents were in the open
position as adjusted from inside the trailer and pulling/pushing the central part?

Boating stores like West Marine sell solar vents. They have an on-line
catalog at: http://www.westmarine.com/ventilation.html Dan Dunkel wrote: When I went soaring yesterday, I noticed that the solar vent on my Cobra trailer was not working.

I have the same non-operable vent in my 2 1/2 year
old trailer. Has anyone been successful in breathing life back into one? At 16:54 02 April 2004, Greg Arnold wrote: Boating stores like West Marine sell solar vents.

So, I'm inside my Komet trailer with a screwdriver and a socket wrench
adjusting the gizmo to fit the whatchamacallit so it aligns better with the glider and suddenly this noise starts. "Rattle rattle rattle.... Geez! A rattlesnake! Nope, the &%*&^$ solar fan came to life. Whew! Bill Daniels "Gary Evans" wrote in message ... I have the same non-operable vent in my 2 1/2 year old trailer.
