Sun cracked trim

Question

The black plastic trim that covers all the screw heads along the top, bottom and corners of my FW is cracking and coming off.

I don't know if this affects the water-tightness of the seams, or if this plastic is just cosmetic.

Does anyone know what the actual name of this trim product is called, or where I can oder more of it??

Thanks, Larry

Search Amazon for "RV trim insert". You'll find it in many colors. Just be sure to order the correct width. Easy to replace. It doesn't affect watertightness but looks so much better when it's replaced!

It is actually vinyl RV edge trim, can be purchased about anywhere RV supplies are sold. As to function, mostly cosmetic, but has to help some with water intrusion around screws. Jerry

also measure how a roll you will need

Screw cover is available from online vendors in various color, width, and length of roll. Determine the width of your covers and amount of length needed before ordering. It is an easy replacement. I replaced all the screw covers on a 22' trailer for around $15.

It is sometimes called vinyl trim insert.

I have been buying it in bulk from a seller on Ebay by the name of brickyardindustries. It just seems to hold up to the UV longer, although any of it eventually breaks down if exposed to the sun a lot.

Whatever you buy I would not suggest the product from Camco. I find it lasts 2 years tops.
