FAQs
Is this compatible with the SH40 or other Shad cases?
No, this cover is specifically designed only for the SH39 top case model.
Do I need to sand the cover before painting it?
Yes, for the best finish, it is recommended to lightly sand the surface and use a plastic primer before applying your top coat.
Does this include the mounting hardware?
This product is the top cover lid only and utilizes the existing attachment points and clips on your SH39 base.
Can I use this as is without painting?
Yes, you can use it in its raw state, but keep in mind it has a matte, unrefined appearance and will show dirt more easily than a finished cover.
Will this protect my belongings inside?
Yes, once properly clicked into place, it offers the same weather and security protection as the original factory cover.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not click into place during installation
Check for obstructions inside the clip channels and ensure the ambient temperature is at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit so the plastic is flexible.
Visible scuffs on the raw surface
The unpainted surface is susceptible to surface marks; use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth it out before applying paint or clear coat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Perfect OEM-style fit for SH39 top cases
- Ideal base for custom color matching
- Durable impact-resistant material
- Cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire top case
Cons
- Requires post-purchase painting for a gloss or factory color look
- May show fingerprints or scuffs more easily than finished plastic
- Installation requires careful handling of plastic clips to avoid breakage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, you will need to gently disengage the internal retention clips of the existing lid from the SH39 case shell. Ensure the case is at room temperature to prevent the plastic clips from becoming brittle and snapping during removal. Once the old lid is detached, align the new cover and apply firm, even pressure until all tabs click into place. For care, if left in its unpainted state, wipe periodically with a non-abrasive plastic cleaner. If the cover has been professionally painted, follow the maintenance instructions provided by your paint shop, typically involving mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
