Thermwell Frost King AC18A Air Conditioner Side Panel Kit, 2-Pack, 0.75" x 5" x 14

I learned a new word from the previous reviewer: "louvers." My louvers lasted more than two weeks last year, but for some reason they didn't last the A/C being in storage (in a back room of my apartment).When I went to retrieve the A/C for this season, the louvers on both sides were split at the seams. And, having had the A/C in the window for several weeks now, the number of cracks/splits have increased so that both sides are totally useless (I'm guessing the heat from the sun cracked the vinyl.) I've now got foam side pieces wrapped in plastic on the outside of the windowsill (on both sides) to keep birds out, and I covered the vinyl panels with tons of packing tape to seal it, and then taped more foam pieces over the panels on the inside. It looks like "Sanford and Son," but it seems to work.Still, I would definitely not buy this product. Perhaps contact your A/C's manufacturer to see if they can provide proper replacement parts (I also had to do some bending of metal clips with a screwdriver to get the panels to fit my A/C.)But I agree with the previous reviewer: No good.

Great at keeping out light

Sorry to say that this item cost me money.The product was not well enough explained and when my husband looked at the item it did not appear the way it was advertised.When I went to return the item I was informed that the mailing address was a residence not a business.Therefore it cost me much more than it should or could have.

Side panels delivered were 20 inches in height. However the product description states - .8 x 5 x 14. Product not as described.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT....the louvers rip after the 2nd week that they were installed....a total waste of money! I would give this product 0 stars if I could
