I didn't use "Dicor" but just used a good quality mastic/caulk. But dicor would work well.

Hi Jay, that's a terrific idea. I had for some reason not thought of it. I can fill the holes in with Dicor and then maybe move the fender up slightly so the original holes wont really be seen...or similar.

Did you use Dicor/mastic/sealant between the fender and the siding as well as on top of the siding?

Many, many thanks!
Jon

What I did when about half the screws were not holding any longer and the fender was about to fall off was I filled the old holes with some weather proof sealant.  After the old holes were filled I drilled new starter holes in the fender and trailer wall (about a half inch away fromt he old holes) and got some good caulk/mastic and liberally put that between the fender and the wall of the trailer.  Then installed the screws into the fender/wall.  When the fender was attached I put a good bead of caulk/mastic on the visible fender joint with the wall. I used black caulk/mastic for appearance sake.  I have had no problem with the fender since, hope this helps.

Hi! I’ve had it about a year. The passenger side fender is rock solid but the drivers side (by the Rpod’s entry door) has ripped off. I repaired the LED but the screws just pull out of the holes. Looking for advice on how to best reattach it correctly (do it once, do it right). A size wider screw? Longer screws? I thought about well nuts but the holes are only about 3mm wide and I don’t see any well nuts that small.

Advice? Thank you!
