Exterior Corner Moulding Reuse

I the process of doing some repairs to the front of my camper I pulled the edge moulding off. Is this commonly reused or replaced. It has the curve where it wraps around the front contour of the camper. Thanks in advance.

  • Thanks for the reply Recycler. I did reuse the original as you suggested. I figured I had nothing to lose.I did use a rubber mallet to help refit it.
  • the camper manufacters have equipment to bend it..your right it will kink some when it is bent tight..the way i deal with that is to bend it then use rubber mallet and block of wood to shrink the sides in..you could use the same trick to repair the orginal peices too
  • I was a bear to remove. I just hope it will lay flat as I work it back on. It would seem to me that it would be prebent. If not it would kink on the tight radius bends of the front roll of the overhang.
  • if your refering to the aluminum peice i would reuse it if you can..that stuff is expensive
