Corner Trim Replacement
Well, I officially christened my (almost) new TT last week. A security gate closed as I was putting the TT into a storage lot and damaged the vertical trim at the left rear. Mostly my fault, I took too long to make the turn at the entrance (am I supposed to go right ....or left???). Since it was going into storage for a month, and I didn't have many tools available, I made a temp fix by bending the trim back and sealing with aluminum tape. DW wants a permanent fix (I sorta like the vertical racing stripe), guess who will win that battle.
Couple of questions from a DIY'er (I have tools and time but no experience with a repair of this nature):
1) where can I get a replacement metal trim piece and the rubber or plastic strip that covers the screw slots?
2) What kind of sealing caulk to use (silicone or not?)
3) Anything else I need to do to make it as watertight as possible?
4) Any other constructive comments or suggestions.
