Restrictions

The FP 300 windscreen blackout blind is not suitable for vehicles whose interior rear-view mirror cannot be removed or which are equipped with a digital central rear-view mirror (optional equipment for Fiat Ducato from July 2021, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper from January 2024).

The entire system is also not suitable for vehicles that are also equipped with folding beds, roof racks, storage compartments above the windscreen or side or optionally installed airbags!

Installation tip

We recommend installing the respective full frame of the SP 310 from the inside with the driver or passenger door closed.

When inserting the full frame of the SP 310 in front of the side window, you will notice that the frame is slightly smaller than the existing window cut-out. This ensures that it can be inserted easily. Due to this circumstance, the frame can also shift slightly vertically (up/down) and horizontally (left/right).

In practice, it has been shown that the final position can best be determined before the frame is actually attached if this is done from the inside with the vehicle door closed. This ensures that the full frame can be optimally positioned both functionally and visually in relation to possible door or ceiling panels.

SP 310 & HEOSafe additional locks

If HEOSafe additional locks are already installed in your vehicle, the respective full frame must be adjusted on site. The usual installation position of the additional lock and that of the full frame of the SP 310 side window darkening unfortunately do not match. The lower corner of the SP 310 full frame overlaps with the upper area of ​​the HEOSafe door lock. In order to be able to mount the full frame of the SP 310, however, a cut-out must be made at this point, which can be made with files, a metal saw or, ideally, with a Dremel tool. The cut-out usually runs just below the screw hole in the full frame (see our image #8 above for an illustration).

To ensure that the cut-out does not run within the existing and absolutely necessary screw hole, this normally requires the full frame to be positioned as high as possible within the inner side window area. Therefore, check the maximum possible position of the full frame beforehand by first removing the lock and holding the full frame in its best possible position from the inside with the door closed. Put the additional lock back into its mounting position as far as possible to see whether the cut-out to be made will then still run just below the existing screw hole.

If the above requirement is met, then such an adjustment can be made easily with a little manual skill and will hardly be noticeable after assembly. The existing screw hole is then covered by a cover supplied as standard. It is imperative that the full frame can also be screwed to the door at this point, otherwise (especially when driving) the vibration of the vehicle will cause rattling noises.

We recommend that you only check the fit from the inside with the doors closed. With the doors open, you cannot determine whether the full frame is perhaps too high in the intended position and is hitting the door seal there, so that although the installation with the additional lock was successful, the door may then no longer be able to be closed at all. Due to tolerances that occur, albeit very rare, in vehicle production, it cannot be ruled out that the position of the additional lock leads the required cutout through the screw hole in the full frame and that under these circumstances it cannot be screwed to the door or an alternative solution for the screw connection must be found on site.

Tools required for assembly

• Handheld or cordless screwdriver with small & larger Phillips attachment,
• Metal drill Ø 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm & 6.0 mm (see also below under "Accessories")
• If necessary, a sturdy carpet knife (cutter) for the rain sensor box cut-out

The scope of delivery includes:

• the Dometic FP 300 windscreen darkening blind,
• the Dometic SP 310 darkening blinds for the side windows (left and right) of the driver's cab,
• and all fastening materials and instructions for a complete assembly.

For logistical reasons, we have to split the shipment, which consists of two parts, between two shipping service providers.

Our current main shipping service provider does not transport any shipments that are longer than 175 cm and in such cases raises high bulky goods surcharges. Since the windscreen roller blind is almost 180 cm long, we ship it with a different shipping service provider. This is precautionary information, so that when you place an order, you will not be surprised why "only" one shipment is delivered by the respective shipping service provider. As a rule, however, both shipments should be delivered on the same working day.
