Question:

Hey I am wondering how the rain blocker side panels work on the hideaway awning. Are the panels contoured to fit the angle of the top of the awning? Is there a left and a right panel for a snug fit against the rig, the awning, the ground and the front legs of the awning? I do not see a left and right option which seems necessary for the shape of the opening on the sides of an angled awning. The pictures for the G2 side panel all appear to be hung off of the front of the awning and not off of the side, altho the manual does show a side application???? A video tutorial could be helpful as well. Thanks so much for guidance and answers to this question.

Yes, the Rain Blocker G2 Side Panels like part # TH307292 are contoured to the slope of the awning at the top. The side panels will work on both the right hand or left hand side but there is not one for each. The side panels are the same inside and out which is what allows them to be installed on either side. In regards to how they attach; the top uses a channel, the sides use several hook and loop fasteners, and the bottom uses an anchor system. I have attached some photos to help clarify this.

I have also attached a list of the different size panels below for both the front and sides. If you have an 80 sq ft Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning then you will need part # TH307304 (2) for the front and part # TH306515 for the sides. The front panels are sold in sections in order to allow access so if you purchased two of the 5' panels above you would cover the entire front and still allow for access.
