So if anyone else ever comes across this issue, I peeled away the vinyl insert to investigate. What I found really upset me, and made me very frustrated with forest river.
Under the vinyl I could see the pre drilled holes in the corner molding, about 1 every 10 inches or so, I estimate there were 10 - 12 holes from floor to roof... But there were only 4 screws used 4 crappy 1/8" screws... Basically 1 every 3 screw holes, I couldn't believe it, and 2 of them were broken. No wonder my corner molding was peeling off, they only used 1/3rd the amount of screws they should've used.
I bought some slightly heavier Tek screws and drove them in everywhere there was a pre drilled hole in the corner molding, hopefully this solves my issue. Will post pictures later.
