When your Solera awning idler head back cover cracks, fades, or goes missing, this direct OEM-style replacement snaps the assembly back to a clean, protected finish. Designed specifically for plain idler head configurations on compatible Solera power and manual awnings.
The Lippert 289567 is the rear back cover for Solera plain idler head assemblies. The idler head is the non-motorized end of your Solera awning arm -- the side opposite the drive motor -- and its back cover keeps internal components shielded from road grime, rain, UV exposure, and general weathering. Over time, the factory cover can crack from UV stress or physical impact, leaving the idler mechanism exposed.
This cover is a direct drop-in for the original part. No cutting, drilling, or modification required. It installs in place of the existing rear cover and restores both function and appearance. The black finish matches the OEM look on Solera awning systems.
Engineered to match original Lippert Solera plain idler head geometry for a clean, no-modification install.
Shields idler head internals from road debris, moisture, and UV exposure when the awning is stowed.
Black finish matches factory Solera awning aesthetics, eliminating the unsightly look of a cracked or missing cover.
Fits plain idler head assemblies used across multiple Solera awning configurations including short, flat, and pitched setups.
The idler head back cover is one of the most commonly damaged awning cosmetic parts because it sits exposed at the slide-out or wall end of the awning arm. Replacing it promptly keeps dirt and moisture from working into the idler head pivot and fabric roller tube, which can cause harder-to-fix problems down the road.
Lippert offers both "plain" and logo-embossed or decorative versions of this cover. Part number 289567 is the plain version -- no embossing or branding on the exterior face. Verify your existing cover style before ordering if appearance matching is important to you.
Solera awnings use several different idler head designs depending on awning width, arm type, and model year. This cover is specific to the plain idler head assembly. It is not interchangeable with drive-head covers, decorative idler head covers, or covers designed for other awning brands. Cross-reference your current cover or awning model number with Lippert part 289567 before purchasing.
