I really hate this stuff, I actually get stressed out when I know I need to work with it. I have tried everything, putting it in hot water, blowtorch, microwave, it is just the pits to work with this stuff.I thought doing the straight rails was bad, I have to do the rail for under the bunk, OMG I was pulling my hair out yesterday trying to keep it in the rail going around the corner, I ended up giving up after an hour of fighting the stuff.Is there a special tool the RV manufacturers use to put this stuff on? There has to be an easier way.

Funny how I could not pull this thread up searching on here, found it through google.http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27359690/gotomsg/27360080.cfmGoing to try getting a screen door moulding tool from lowes and see if that helps. The curve in the rail under the bunk is what is making this so hard, keeps wanting to pop out once it goes around the corner and upside down.

Just stay with the screen tool until you figure it out. The angle is important. It should be relatively easy if you are doing it right and shouldn't take that much pressure. I used the round screen roller tool.

I just replaced all of mine (approx. 150 feet!!), and it went in very easy. I used the camco brand and it was very flexible. Are you sure you have the right size? What brand are you using? I bought a screen roller and did not even need to use it.

Camping World sells two versions. I used the premium or maybe they call it heavy duty. It was very easy to use and very pliable. I did just my rear corners that bend 90 degrees up to the roof. It was no problem making that bend. I noticed some of the stuff I looking at was very hard and not pliable at all. I did not have to use a roller. While changing out the trim I also one at a time removed every screw and filled the hole with pro-flex RV sealant.
