Topic: RPOD 172 Viny Trim Posted: 14 Jun 2022 at 11:39am |
Hello fellow RPOD owners. I am new to this forum. I have had RPOD in the last couple of years and it is only now that I think of some wear and tear maintenance.
I have a 2014 RPOD 172 Hood River Edition. I am planning to replace the vinyl trim as I think it needs replacing. Does anyone know the width of the Vinyl Trim needed? 1" or 3/4"? My RPOD is in the storage right now and can't get it until the end of the week. I would like to order it in advance. Thanks and I appreciate the help in advance.

It is 1" I did this a couple years ago and got the best deal and free shipping on eBay. One roll of 100' will do everything, including all the vinyl on the slide, which I see you do not have so you will have a lot left over. Do you plan on replacing the screws with stainless? May be a good time to check that out as well and see how badly they are corroded. Steel and aluminum is not a good mix, you would think the engineers at FR would know better.

Thank you! Never really thought about the screws. I guess if I am doing it already might as well replace it. Would you know what size? And how many approximately.

Best to remove a few to see what length they are. On my 2011 177 I used a few shy of 200. They were #10 and 1" long. Others who have done this have used 1.25" and 1.5". I simply replaced with the same length as what I removed. I got pan head with a phillips drive. Had to re-drill most of the ones underneath as they were totally rusted out and when I went to remove the head simply twisted off. Also used a dab of dicor on each hole before inserting screw to get a waterproof install.
