Plastic tent canvass attachment point to trailer
I have a 2006 Thor 18dt. I had to pull one of the tents off to replace a zipper recently. The part that attaches the tent to the trailer has broken and I am having a hell of a time finding the part to have it replaced.
I'm not sure how others are attached but on mine, where the tent comes into the trailer, there is a long plastic strip that is sewn to the tent, the length of the 3 panels and that strip is then screwed into the trailer. It is about a 1/4 or 1/8in thick, maybe 2in wide, milky white plastic that then bends in an L shape (90 degrees) and is then screwed to the frame/wall/trailer. Over the years it has started to crack and fail for about 6-8in along the bend so in effect, the top corners of the tent aren't really attached to the trailer
My upholstery guy can sew it on no problem but has no idea where to get the plastic.
Any thoughts??
(yes....I know a picture would be immensely helpful and I did take a picture but it would appear that I deleted it on my phone right after I installed it back on and closed the trailer up. I will do what I can to get one soon...)
