Plastic trim in channel above rear awning

[cgeis48]

There is a channel above where the rear awning is attached to the slide - the channel is screwed onto the rig and runs the length of the slide. All of the mounting screw heads have a length of plastic trim that cover and protect them. I was inspecting the outside, and I found that the plastic strip was cracking lengthwise and falling off. That was some storm last night.
Who is the vendor where I can find that trim plastic and how is it identified, by widths, by curvature, by material??

Any RV parts store will have that molding trim, or get it off of Amazon. Simply measure the width yours with a ruler. It's probably 1 inch. Click here. It comes in white or black or tan.

There is probably a small set screw on each end. Remove the screw and pull the old out. To install the new, simply lay the bottom edge in the track and pinch the top down. Then simply keep a pinch pressure on the trim and slide it in the groove as you work it down the length of your camper. It's very easy to do once you get the feel for it.

You will probably be replacing that trim about once ever 4 or 5 years. It's just a very thin vinal and simply ages out with time and weather.

you can get it from Amazon, you will need to know the size as there are several widths available, Ask me how I know? it is very easy to replace yourself. Our rig is a 2021 and all of the trim was cracked on ours. So I replaced it.

This is the one I used

I also added gutter spouts to places that were missing.

And end trim caps

While you have the trim off, back out each screw, inject the hole with Dicor, reinsert the screw (do NOT OVER tighten). Repeat for each and every exterior screw. This will seal the hole, thread and screw head to prevent water intrusion.

When putting the trim on, lay it out straight in the sunshine. The sun will warm it up and make it flexible. Easier to install.

Is mine supposed to have trim caps? It doesn't.

Mine didn't either. They folded over the plastic trim and tucked it in, then put a screw through it.
I like the end caps. Neat freak.
