Securing the AC

Cherokee

During the the last few trips the trim securing the AC came loose. We kept tightening the two screws till we decided to address the issue with additional fasteners. 

Mr Danby's now solidly attached!

Single fastener by NuCamp 

Works loose 

With two additional fasteners on each side

How unusual.  The trim piece on my 2016 Outback is just that - trim only - does not secure the A/C unit to the cabinet.  Also, this unit protrudes into the cabin. The facia of my A/C is almost flush with the trim ring.  I'd be concerned that the rear of the unit is not touching the baffles that separate the "cool" air intake from the side of the A/C to the "hot" exhaust from the rear of the A/C.

Perhaps they changed it since 2016- but believe me the trim holds an A/C flange in place and it moves more forward when the the screws come loose.  Other then this, the unit has worked flawlessly since we bought it.

My A/C (2015) was mounted as Tabaz described, but it was also a different make and model than what Cherokee shows. So yep, looks like something changed in the later years.
