Probably not the answer you want, steveinville,however - - - - - -

We have a early 2004, purchased June 2003. It sits out all year, some years, we were lucky enough to get it to TX for winter months. Normally, we live in Michigan, so the unit has not been subjected to bright suns and extreme heat. (It does however, get kinda cold here in the winter.)

Front and some on the street side, mostly the red ones were curling.

We had asked about replacement for the front at the last Fall Rally and never heard anything, then, well, other things were more important and there was no follow through on our part.

Note: Our graphics were not that badly curled, we have seen some really horrible. Ours, were minimal.

Al (Countryguy) just two days ago took a single sided razor blade and carefully slid it along the curled part, and trimmed it right off. He did not cut into the gelcoat. I suppose if you look close you will note that the decals are not what they were. But, for now, we are OK with the trimming and what is left.

We know of at least one other MOC member who has trimmed instead of replaced. It did not take Al very long to do, believe he said 15 minutes.

Again, as disclaimer, ours were not that badly curled.

Anyway, just toss it out here, and you can contemplate the choices.

Welcome to the forum. Happy RVing.
