| Will an r-dome from a 2014 178 fit my 2010 171? I know they changed the width of the keder clip that holds the dome to the camper sometime, but I don't know when. |

You can buy the larger C channel and replace the one on your 171. Not that expensive or hard to do. OR, you can just take a screwdriver to the one you have and make it wider. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Someone else will have to chime in I can never remember the exact year. It was mid-year fairly recently, like 2012. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

How would I widen it with a screwdriver? Just pry the keder open? ------------- 2010 R-Pod RP-171 2010 Honda Ridgeline TV |

Yes, or maybe pry it open a bit with a wrench. I'd wrap it with some duct tape to prevent marks. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
