Gdetrailer... I appreciate that you are trying to help. But we are talking apples and oranges. You have an '81 and an '84 TRAILER. I'm talking about the door on a 2011 Class A Motorhome. They are nothing alike.
Maybe its my fault for not being specific enough, but on the other hand maybe it has something to do with the fact that you think I'm an idiot who can't figure out how to fit a piece of plastic under the metal trim. Instead of answering my question, you assumed that I was asking an idiotic question and started telling me the way I *SHOULD* do it instead of just helping me out with what I asked.
Maybe on older RV's they were made of wood. Maybe travel trailers have wood. My door has no wood. Took out the window and the latch to look at different places. NO WOOD.
Smooth fiberglass outer surface, bonded to foam, bonded to pebble surface FRP, with a metal frame around the entire door.
It looks something like this: https://www.lci1.com/assets/content/img/gen/640_601_lippert-rv-entry-door-optimized.jpg
No, there is no structural door damage. The frame is intact. It hangs plumb, it opens and closes easily.
ITS JUST THAT THE FREAKING PLASTIC CRACKED ON THE INSIDE.
I 'appreciate' the suggestions on what I 'need' to do to replace or repair the door, but I know what I need to do, thank you. I'm just asking about the best way to go about it.
Rant over. I do appreciate that people are trying to help, but if I ask how to get to Orlando, please don't tell me I really should go to Houston instead because its a much nicer place. Just help me get to Orlando, and if you can't help me get to Orlando then......
