When the automatic opener pushes the window open, the restraint cables act as a tether — preventing the window from being blown fully open, over-extended, or torn off the frame by strong gusts. Each kit covers one roof window and includes all hardware needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riga IIs, Riga IIIs, and Riga III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × 15\" stainless steel cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNuts and bolts for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers 1 roof window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 inches each (2 cables per kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — nuts and bolts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 roof window per kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRiga IIs, Riga IIIs, Riga III\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRIGA-WIND-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$32.99 per kit (1 roof window)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWind Restraint vs. Quick-Release Arm — What’s the Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWind Restraint Cables (this product)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuick-Release Arm (on the opener)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimits maximum window opening angle; prevents window from being blown open or off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllows the opener to be manually disconnected from the window frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen Used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive — always in place; activates automatically if wind pushes window beyond cable length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActive — manually disconnected before adverse weather; requires user action\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtects Against\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWindow being blown fully open or off the frame during a sudden gust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpener piston being damaged by snow weight or forced closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePermanent — cables remain attached at all times\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt into the opener; no separate installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wind restraint cables and the quick-release arm serve complementary but different purposes.
