Seweder RV Awning Rafter Rivet Slider Assembly 830463P 2-Pack for Dometic/A&E 9000-8500 — Aluminum Zinc Alloy, Direct-Fit

This Seweder 830463P RV awning rafter rivet slider assembly is a two-piece replacement designed to restore smooth, stable operation to Dometic and A&E 9000/8500 series camper awnings.

If your RV or trailer awning sticks, wobbles, or shows worn rafter rivet sliders, this Seweder replacement kit provides a direct-fit aluminum zinc alloy slider and matching pins to bring back reliable movement. The parts are made to match common Dometic and A&E 9000/8500 installations and ship as a two-pack so you can service both sides or keep a spare on hand. The surface treatment may look slightly aged; this finish is intentional to improve sliding performance after installation.

How will this slider assembly affect my awning’s movement?

Installing the Seweder rivet slider reduces friction where the rafter meets the roller housing, improving extension and retraction. Users typically notice smoother travel and less jerking when opening or closing the awning.

• Precision-sized to match Dometic/A&E 9000 and 8500 profiles for consistent fit.
• Aluminum zinc alloy body resists deformation under load for stable support.
• Surface treatment optimizes slide-in action after seating into place.

Will these parts fit my RV, trailer, or motorhome awning?

The kit is intended for use with Dometic and A&E 9000 and 8500 series awnings and compatible aftermarket systems using the 830463P part form. Confirm parts by comparing the old slider’s shape and hole pattern before installation.

• Sold as part number 830463P for direct compatibility verification.
• Works with common camper, trailer, and motorhome awning rafters of the listed series.
• Includes two sliders and two retaining pins so both sides can be serviced or one side replaced with a spare.

How hard is it to replace the old slider with this Seweder kit?

Replacement is straightforward for most DIYers familiar with basic hand tools. You remove the old rivet, align the new slider, and insert the included pin to secure the part.

• Step 1: Drill out or remove the existing rafter rivet carefully.
• Step 2: Align the Seweder slider with the canopy and rafter holes.
• Step 3: Press the slider spindle into place and secure it with the provided pin.

What should I expect in terms of durability and finish?

The Seweder slider uses aluminum zinc alloy for strength and long service life. The surface finish is intentionally aged-looking to help the slider seat and glide better after installation; cosmetic appearance varies but does not compromise performance.

• Corrosion-resistant alloy for extended outdoor use.
• Robust mechanical design meant to support awning rafters under tension.
• Finish improves sliding action and is a normal characteristic of this replacement part.
