seal pulling out?

I have a rubber seal pulling out from the corner of my fiver (2014 Jayco Eagle 34.5BHTS) at the inside "corner" edge where the overhead part that attaches to the pinbox comes down behind the tailgate. The ends are screwed in secure, so it hasn't slid or pulled in one direction, and trying to push it back in, it's tight! Almost like it's shrunk?!? Can't figure out how to add an image... sorry...
  • Replace it. Once they shrink they will never stay in place even if you did get back place. It’s not very expensive seal trim.
  • Yeah I've got one doing that. I haven't tried to fix it yet though. I'm thinking a heat gun and some silicone.

    Normal, I've had to replace on both sides. It's just a cover to hide the screws.

    If you will follow these directions exactly, it is very easy to post pictures on our forums. One of our moderators, 1492, developed this photo posting app to post your pictures. It works for other internet sites also. There is no need to have a separate hosting site for your pictures in order to use it.

    It is very simple to use.
    1. Upload your picture from your computer to the app.
    2. Copy the resulting URL.
    3. Paste that URL into your post

    without ANY changes

    . No additions or deletions.

    Your picture will then appear in your post and be properly sized for use on our forums.:)

  • Bad Farcebook link. It probably is shrunken. It’s common for the exterior trim
