Cobra trailer trim.

Last year my wife and I replaced the vinyl trim on my Cobra trailer. It
took some muscle to pull the strips through. First, we soaked the trim
in a bucket filled with warm water and dishwashing liquid to add some
slick. The warm water made the vinyl more pliable.

When we started pulling, the first ten feet went easily. Then, the
lubrication wore off. We started over with Pam spray. That worked well.
To pull the vinyl, I used locking pliers. As I pulled, the wife
sprayed.

When the pulling was done, all that was needed was to pop-rivet the
vinyl ends to the trailer.

Then, our arms were tired.

I installed Maxxima LED replacement brake/turn/tail lights as well as a
high, fin mounted 3rd brake light on my Cobra.

For the fin, it is important to fabricate a wedge of some sort (I used white
plastic) to get the LED perpendicular to the ground, as the beam angle is
narrower than with incandescent lighting.

For the 3rd brake light "logic", I used a relay, with the coil being driven
off one brake/turn and the NO contact on the relay being driven by the other
brake turn. That way the fin brake light is only on when both L & R brake
lights are on.

I used all flush mount lights with rubber grommets. Also mounted LED aux
turn signals on the side of the trailer on the upper clam just above the
existing running lights, amber mid-ship and red at the rear.

Anyone know where I can get the weatherstripping seal on the bottom
half of the trailer. This is what the clamshell closes against.

Also, has anyone replace lights with LED's and mounted a high center
stop light? What bulbs are in the tail lens?

I used a different technique.

I simply aligned the trim and used my thumbs to press it on. Worked
well once I got the hang of it. Took maybe 1+- hr per side by myself.

You might want to email Agnes Spindelberger to get advice.
