Looks pretty good David. Glad you said the real solution to the bad butyl tape is complete removal and replacement. Keep the good stuff coming.

Dude no one has used a Springdale more than you! I swear they should give you a brand new one with a slide 😉 😉 😉

I have done what you did to replace the vinyl cover. I would also suggest that when replacing the vinyl, do not stretch it at all, it will shrink. Also, I have used exterior wood glue with a toothpick to make the screw hole tighter also, works on those screws that keep turning while all the way in the hole.

You're on track with the sealant. It doesn't need to be pretty if it is preventing water intrusion. Good job!

Good job, David. Thanks for the tutorial

David, I just replaced all four corners on our camper about a month ago. Great minds think alike 8)

Would you be better off using white replacement instead of black? Do you have any tips on how/where to measure for the correct size trim? I have a 2020 Winnebago 2108DS with cracked trim.

Thanks for the info I checked mine today they're still in pretty good shape.

"Cold and contracting", kind of reminds me of a problem George Costanza had: "I WAS IN THE POOL!!"

Do your channels drain? I'm guessing you don't want to caulk the ends that drain to the ground

Can you show the dicore(?) after it flattened out? Still, these are great videos.

Even worst, the corner cap piece is often small enough that the metal siding can shrink out from under it. At this point, you end up having to totally remove the corner piece and re-seal everything underneath.

The top of my roof had water get into the trim and leak tough the screws. :o

1) lap sealant only flat horizontal surfaces
2) pro flex for all vertical surfaces
3) clean old lap sealant with gasoline to the new lab sealant adheres to it properly, if you don’t, the new lab sealant will peel off and water can get between the old and the new
4) please use either colour matching or clear sealant. It looks horrible using white sealant on black surfaces.
