Dometic AC replacement grille very fragile
One of my Dometic AC grilles had the tab break off. I ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-3104928-019-Polar-Ducted-Grille/dp/B00RHSEYG4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Somehow, it installed OK, but the first time I had to change the filter both tabs broke off and the grill broke in the middle. The plastic is extremely brittle, perhaps it was a bad batch. The comments have several users having them break, sometimes on the first installation.
I hesitate to keep buying these, has anyone had better luck with a different source? I think I could make one out of some aluminum grille material. My previous Coleman units never had this problem.
thanks very much,
