Went to replace ours. Remove the bottom front screw only to find it screwed into a rivet that was punched through the trim cover. So how does one get around that? You can't attach the new trim cover without removing the rivet which will never go back in again. How do you all deal with this?

Mine is cracked as well. I think from hail. Did you find the replacement molding? ]]> Sun, 14 Aug 2016 08:28:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8491&PID=80511#80511 Cracked/Split roof seals : Ah, yes, that's what it is.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8491&PID=79902#79902 Author: 0ttr

Ah, yes, that's what it is.   I wasn't sure what those were...I thought they were a major seal.   

Ok, something to be concerned about but not the emergency I thought it was.  I'll purchase and fix.   

Thanks

Sounds like you are talking about the trim strip/cover. Available in rolls from most any decent RV shop, or online.

Trim Insert.

are you talking about the plastic that covers the screws in the channel at the edge of the roof if so you can just pull it out and replace it with new did mine this spring. Just bough it at my local service center. For the outer edge seams and around the windows  I use poly seam seal from Lowes .]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 17:34:53 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8491&PID=79844#79844 Cracked/Split roof seals : How do you reseal what is essentially... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8491&PID=79842#79842 Author: 0ttr

How do you reseal what is essentially a hard tube?

I've seen posts that deal with the silicone sealant around the edges but not the actual plastic structure.

Those seals need to be inspected and maintained regularly. We check our each spring and clean and re-seal as needed.

Hi,
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a 2013 177 and I just returned from my vacation.  For the first time I took a ladder and cleaned the roof.   Where the roof meets the sides there is a hard plastic strip about 1/2 inch wide and I noticed that significant portions of this along the roof (out of sight from the ground) were cracked, and when I touched one of the areas it started to disintegrate.


Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?   Any suggestions for repairs?
