I need to replace the vinyl trim insert for the gutter rail in various places, especially on the slide. 1" and 3/4" widths are available on line. The width of the rail is about an inch so I'm not sure if I need to get the 1" or the 3/4" (I'm wondering if the measurement is for what's exposed??). Anyone know? It seems the 1" is the most available.

So, doing more research on line (found some Ebay pics), it appears that both will fit. The difference seems to be the 1" width bulges out due to the extra width and the 3/4" lies flat.

You need the 1", the bulge is to make space for the screw heads.
