Gdetrailer, thanks for the reply, but like copsey mentioned, I could find nothing on any of those linked web sites similar to my corner cap. I would love to locate some corner caps that were metal instead of this cheap stock plastic one, but I have not been able to locate even the stock parts. Mine look exactly like this 2003 corner cap shown on page 18 of this link (part # 08x296):

and this is probably the same part that fits my 2004...but I need a store to buy it at. I also emailed Gulfstream but had no response and cannot locate any parts store for Gulfstream. Hopefully, my nearest dealer will get back to me in a day or two....but surely there is an online part store for these parts, I just cannot seem to find it.
Here is a photo of mine:
Hmm.. from what I gather the part in the pix is just plastic trim that fits to the underside of the trailer corner?
If that is true, personally I would just discard and forget about it as long as the edge showing is not objectionable looking..
Reason why I say that, is that piece could actually capture and hold water/moisture that runs down the side/corner of the trailer..
You don't want or need anything that can trap and hold moisture since it can and will cause damage over time.
Otherwise, the trim I linked CAN be used, it is bendable and can be bent around rounded edges. The screws would simply be placed on the underside of the trailer.. Using that trim like that you can omit the use of the vinyl insert.
