we have a 2014 178. On the door side the roof edge insert strip has torn and needs replacement. Has anyone done this? Where did you get the insert strip? Just to be clear, this is the rubber molding strip that runs the length of the trailer, from front to back.  How hard was it to replace? Looks like it might be in a couple pieces, joined or sealed with some caulk where the ends meet.  

Thank you for any help

Andy

I got mine from Amazon. It comes in a long roll. That way you do not have to piece it. Very easy to install. Just pinch it together & it snaps down into the track. Here is a link to what I bought.

It's not hard at all. You can buy the strip at any rv dealer or amazon, it comes on a roll and it 1" wide.
 
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
