Thanks. That sounds a lot more likely as well to me. I went out and took a closer look, I can see a couple of spots.

Kind regards and good camping,
Geoff

A new 179 and a new dome.. VERY doubtful that you have a small keder dome, they have been out of production for several years now.

My bet is a bit of a wide channel in the keder rail also, put some duck tape on a pair of vice grip jaws, and close it up a smidgeon at the spots that pulled out.]]> Sun, 10 May 2015 23:11:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=59901#59901 R Dome pulls out of slot : Thanks to all.

There are two size keders... the smaller (older) keder will slip out of the larger (newer) track.  You have the wrong r-dome for your model year of r-pod.]]> Sun, 10 May 2015 20:50:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=59895#59895 R Dome pulls out of slot : Solution is to narrow the C-channel... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=59889#59889 Author: kymooses

Solution is to narrow the C-channel that the keder goes into with pliers usually.]]> Sun, 10 May 2015 18:33:27 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=59889#59889 R Dome pulls out of slot : Hi Folks,We just set up our R... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6201&PID=59885#59885 Author: gkooris

Hi Folks,

We just set up our R Dome on our 179 for the first time at home to test it out. I had read in a few places to silicone the track to make it easier, which I did. Maybe as a result of that, the the dome pulled out of the track in a moderate breeze. Did anyone have the same experience, and did anyone find a solution?

Thanks,
Geoff in CT
