That is strange. I have two Fantastic Fans with the Model 800 Fan Mate covers and the fans work perfectly. Yes, the lids do hit the underside of the MaxAir dome but the fans work just fine. They open and close just as they were designed to do. On mine, the motor starts/stops running just as the fan lid leaves/reaches the bottom and is ready to seal. Perhaps your limit switch is positioned a bit differently than mine.

Here is the one I have(bottom one).

They are great. I could keep the vent open 24/7 while the trailer was stored in the back yard, so there was always some air movement. And while driving I could have it open, too; don't try that with an unprotected vent cranked open or you could break off the lid.
I first put one on when my vent lid decayed from UV exposure (after about 4 years). A cracking lid that goes undetected could leak into the trailer, but a vent cover helps protect the trailer from potential leaks while it prolongs the life of the lid.

They do not screw into the roof, there is a bolt that gets drilled horizontally into the frame of the existing vent. They work great.

Get ones with removable screens. The Maxair ones on my trailer do not and it's a pain when you want to clean the vent domes.
Just get the Maxx Air 2 just pull the pin and it swings open to clean the vent cover.
