Patent pending adapter matches the contour of the OEM roof so an Artic Tern Spoiler mounts to a flat surface. The adapter is 37" long x 4" wide. Prevents distorting the roof sheet metal or spoiler. The Adapters are CNC machined out of UV and fire resistant expanded PVC. Use Sikaflex 221 or 3m window weld to adhere it to the roof. We recommend that you seal the adapter after it is installed with a membrane sealant such as Dicor.
Artic Tern Spoiler is not included. We may reach out for additional information about the positioning of the adapter.

Patent Pending adapter matches the contour of the OEM roof so an air conditioner mounts to a flat surface. Prevents distorting the roof sheet metal and can be used as an aid for locating the AC. They are CNC machined out of UV and fire resistant expanded PVC. We can make adapters for other AC units. Please reach out to Kim 541-490- 4292.
The framing strips are expanded PVC and bonded to the interior roof with a thick bead of Windo weld. They are more flexible than wood and plenty strong to support the AC and keep it from jiggling. They are essential if the span between the OEM roof beams is more than 18".
If you order the framing strips they will come in a separate box. There will be 3 strips. 1 for each side running along side the hole and 1 that can be cut to frame the for and aft sides of the hole.They are a generic size and will need to be cut to length. These strips are not contoured to the van corrugations.
AC Adapter Install procedure: We recommend Sikaflex 221 or 3m Window Weld which you can get at Napa. Locate and cut the hole. You can use the adapter as a guide to mark the hole. Stay clear of roof supports, obviously. Make a tape line 1/4" beyond the adapter perimeter. De-gloss the area with a Scotch- brite pad. No need to scuff. Just dull the paint. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and let dry thoroughly. Blow dryer if it's wet and/or cold out. Apply a good amount of the Window-weld on the face of the adapter. Then press the adapter down onto the roof until the adhesive oozes out the sides. It's not necessary to clamp. If you do, use a lot of lightly set clamps and spread out the clamp force over the whole surface area. Using the adhesive that oozes out, make a fillet around the adapter with a double gloved finger. Pull the tape within 15 minutes. Cure is fast on outside. Let cure overnight and then proceed with the AC install per the AC instruction. Seal the adapter and onto the roof about 1/2" with brush on bed-liner or Flexseal from the TV guy works well. Good idea to check the integrity and reapply the sealant every so often. Dicor self leveling sealant also works but looks a little messy.
