vinyl trim source

[Brad[_2_]]

I am rebuilding/repairing my Schroeder type fiberglass top tube
trailer and need to remove the vinyl trim and the aluminum channel
that it slides into. Does anyone have know where this stuff is
available? I've googled it up, but so far have not been successful.
Could be that I am using the wrong description of it, I'm calling
trailer edge trim.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad,

if you cannot find it at McMaster Carr, try your local RV dealer. This
stuff can be found as bump-guard on camping trailers and RVs

Hi All,

Ok.....so the Mcmaster and Carr stuff, at least the U channel stuff
isn't what I'm after, although I did buy some of that to use as edge
trim on my instrument panel hood. The other material is a vinyl sticky
back stuff that probably won't have the durability I am looking for.
Basically, where I am replacing fiberglass skin panels, the replaced
panels overlap the box frame skin, and at that joint what's there now
is an aluminum channel with a pressed in vinyl strip.

I'll try the RV angle............thanks for the suggestions...keep 'em
coming!

BTW................this is a trailer that Helmut Reichmann and his
students built years ago, my friend had his LS-7 in it and the trailer
took a snow load hit a few years back. Today I repaired all of the
broken bow frames, this week we start replacing/repairing the busted/
split skins!
