Popout rip in vinyl

Question

Hi- this is my first post...Just bought a 2009 Jayco X19h Hybrid and I noticed when winterizing there is a split in the vinyl where it's screwed to the trailer.I'm thinking of some epoxy and a few small screws to seal it and stop the vinyl from developing a "run" and splitting more.My question is- has anyone cam across this type of repair and have any suggestions? One thing is the new "no jumping on the bed" rule for our 6 year old daughter. thanksMikeLink to pic below...http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x464/mjmjve/RV/Split2.jpghttp://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x464/mjmjve/RV/Split.jpg

just guessing here but I think I would use Marine goop, 3M 5200, et.al. or similar instead of epoxy if I was going to "glue" it.bumpy

Jayco has a 5 year Limited Warranty on their tent ends. Would suggest you contact a Jayco dealer or call customer service for details. I do not know if the warranty is for the original owner or for the used buyer. Might be worth a phone call.

The plastic molding piece is replaceable.  I would call Jayco and see if that part is available and purchase it take the tent to a local sew shop and have it replaced.  Really inexpensive and your tent will be just like new.
