Do it on a warm day, pinch it a bit , it pops right in , very simple.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

We had a 2009 r-pod 171 and we replaced our screws not the vinyl trim strip. Our reason for replacing the screws was to allow more room in the channel for the r-dome and we used stainless countersunk screws. It maybe replacing your screws using countersunk screws may give a little more room to slide the vinyl trim strip into place.

It's not rubber, it's plastic. Called "vinyl trim strip"Comes in a few colors and widths. Any RV shop will have it, or Amazon, eBay, CW.com, etc etc. Unless you have reason to suspect the current caulking, there is no reason to R&R it. It's a a pain to do, and ALL the old must be completely removed. It cannot and will not stick to itself.

Regarding our 2010 R-Pod RP171; is there a trick to removing the old rubber weatherstripping from the extruded channel running around all the edges of our R-Pod 171? Also is there a trick to sliding the new rubber into place? I plan to remove the old rusting steel screws replacing them with stainless steel in caulk-filled holes. I will also remove and replace the caulk on either side of the channel. Any comments or thoughts. Thank you in advance! Mark
