Bulging siding when towing in crosswind?
Today we were towing through Wyoming with a significant cross wind (imagine that.:R) My travel partner was driving, and noticed in the side mirror, that a section of the metal siding strip was bulging. He pulled over, and it went back flat when we stopped.
Upon inspection, you can tell that a couple of sections of the siding have been flexed out. They are not quite perfectly flat like the rest of the siding.
This is 2 fairly short sections of siding, between the front end of the trailer and a side window.
I don't know if the crosswind had anything to do with it, but that really doesn't matter. It's never happened before, and none of the rest of the siding appears to have been flexed out. The rest of it is perfectly flat.
What is the best remedy for this?
We were thinking of sticking it back down with some Dicor or some type of adhesive. Don't know if that is the best thing to do or not. We are in the middle of a 4 week trip, so options are limited.
