   On my 172 RP,  I was putting enternabond tape on the spoiler and saw where there are two broken spots in the rubber gasket that runs from the bottom front up over the RV and back down the back. It is the top outer edge molding gasket.  The rubber has turned hard and brittle.  Is there a fix or do I have to take it to the dealer?  This RV is a 2017 and I think I got a Monday or Friday made camper.

	You can buy the material you need on Amazon. Here's a sample: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rv+flexible+mold+trim&i=automotive&ref=nb_sb_noss Just pull out the old and put in new. It's best to have it nice and warm so it bends easily and snaps into place.

	I have a small 1/2 inch cut in one spot of mine and I patched it over with some black silicone. Since it's all plastic. I'll keep this info in my war chest for later... I was also told that you buy the trim in one long piece and replace it all as one long piece (as lostagain's post suggests). I'm just not sure how easy that new trim would slide in or if it would be an "inch by inch" battle the entire way...
