wtnhunt Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 The top plastic tab on our stealth cam broke and so now it is letting moisture in . I pulled it and am trying to figure out how I can get it to seal better. Anyone have any ideas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Re: sealing the cam maybe a strip of silicone? I'm having a hard time pictureing what broke? The seal or actually the top part of the housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Re: sealing the cam I would just put one of those cheap ratchet like clamps on it. You could get one at WalMart or Home Depot for next to nothing I would bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about a bead of silicone and may try that. Also thought about maybe some weatherstrip tape cut down maybe, but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeWalker Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: sealing the cam Contact Stealth.......they may just warranty it. I've got one of my cameras that the plastic loops, that the mounting belt slide through, broke.......I'll be calling them in the morning, see if they will cover it....

wtnhunt Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: sealing the cam It is over a year old, doubt they would warranty it. Might just do like Jim suggested and use some sort of a clamp on the top of it to hold it tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: sealing the cam I called Stealth Service, and told them about the problem with those plastic loops breaking on 2 0f the 3 of my cameras..........they are sending me 3 new back housings for absolutely free.....no questions asked. Now that is warranty that runs right up their with Double Bull !! I am impressed.....Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: sealing the cam So you are saying they will send me a new housing even with the cam out of warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
