EXCELFU RV Awning Rafter Slider Assembly 2PK for Dometic & A&E 8500/9000 — Aluminum/Zinc Durable Replacement (830463P)

EXCELFU 2PK RV Awning Rafter Rivet Slider Assembly replaces broken awning sliders for Dometic and A&E 8500/9000 awnings to restore stable, long-lasting canopy support.

When an awning arm or its slider gives out, the entire canopy can sag or fail to lock in place. This replacement kit includes two aluminum-and-zinc-alloy sliders plus two pins designed to fit the common OEM part number 830463P. It’s built to resist the stresses of regular use while making straightforward repairs possible so your RV awning performs reliably on the next trip.

How does this slider assembly restore my awning’s stability?

Each slider is shaped to match the original assembly so it slides smoothly along the rafter and locks securely when the awning is extended. The combination of aluminum body and zinc-alloy components resists bending and corrosion, reducing wobble and uneven tension across the canopy.

• Aluminum housing for lightweight strength
• Zinc-alloy contact points for wear resistance
• Thick steel mandrel and secure rivet pin included
• Direct fit for part 830463P and A&E/Dometic 8500/9000 models

Is installation difficult and what tools are required?

Replacement is performed by drilling out the old rivet, positioning the new slider, and securing it with the supplied pin and rivet. Basic hand tools like a drill, rivet gun or hammer and a punch are usually sufficient, and most DIYers can complete the job in under an hour per side.

• Drill to remove the old rivet
• Align slider with the existing mounting holes
• Use a rivet tool or hammer to set the new mandrel/pin
• Check groove orientation (grooved side faces up) before final fastening

Will this part fit my awning make and model?

The kit is intended as a replacement for commonly used OEM slider assemblies, specified for Dometic and A&E 8500 and 9000 series awnings and listed under part number 830463P. Confirm compatibility by comparing the damaged slider dimensions and hole spacing to this replacement before purchase.

• Compatible with Dometic and A&E 8500/9000 awnings
• Designed to replace part number 830463P

How long can I expect this repair to last?

Using corrosion-resistant metals and a robust mandrel increases service life compared with worn original pieces, especially if installed correctly and inspected periodically. Routine checks and avoiding extreme wind conditions will prolong performance.

• Durable aluminum and zinc alloy construction
• Steel mandrel offers strong mechanical connection
• Periodic inspection recommended after severe weather exposure
• Replace both sliders if one shows significant wear
