Replacing Velcro VELWASHER Discs on a 2016 Aspect 27K

[RV_Lee]

The velcro has worn out and I need to replace it. The fabric window shade has the normal velcro strip along it and then the body of the RV has these "hook side" discs screwed into it.

I had a new velcro strip sewed onto the shade itself. I also replaced the discs now with two different types of velcro I found at the store and neither holds up. The latest is heavy duty Velcro brand that comes apart in direct sun. I need to find what they used from the factory.

Anyone know?

I believe you need Scotch Dual Lock. It really isn't Velcro. Both sides are the same material. Just a little of this holds very well. Here are some examples on Amazon:

You need to use Velcro that is UV resistant, in the past I have used "Marine-grade sew-in Velcro" available at most marine retailers or search for "Velcro brand Extreme Outdoor tape" that is designed to be used in harsh conditions. Won't degrade in the sun or high heat of the front windshield.

I saw this on the shelf at the store but its not what the factory used. The "fluffy" side on the curtain itself looks normal, its the disc "hook side" that looks different (photo above)

This is what I currently have and it only works at night or in cooler temps, once the humidity and heat climbs the curtain keeps falling down every 5-10 mins.

Edit: found them, its Velcro brand VELWASHER and they're RV only pieces, have to buy from a commercial source.

Apologies, I completely misunderstand your post, thinking you wanted the Velcro sew-in material. Here is a website I have used to purchase the buttons in the past in the matching beige color to the RV interior.
