5ER FRONT MOULDING

The front panel keeps separating from the side panel on my 5er. It has a thin moulding but with the movement and flexing, it comes apart. I'm looking for some kind of flexible moulding that can replace. Any ideas?
  • I have similar problems, along with body screws coming loose and falling out.

    You likely have a frame failure. Lippert had a lot of frame flex issues during that time frame. I suspect if you were to open things up you will find cracked broken welds and possibly some other structual issues.
    I would bet money on structural problem.I had a Rockwood almost the same model with the same problem.The fix was very extensive.
