Trim replacement source?

Post by BoarX »

Dear all,

I need to replace the sort of greyish trim around the cabin entrance after the damage resulted - don't laugh please - recent racoon invasion. Here is the picture where it is clearly visible:

It is not a simple plastic, it has metal reinforcement clips inside. Is anyone aware of a source of such or similar trim? Any advice on the glue to apply it?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

P.S. Sorry, but for the life of me I am unable to figure out how to post inline pictures in this forum.

Hi Alex, can't help with the trim but on the picture side, I always have to edit my pics and then decrease their file size to get under the 256KB size restriction. Sorry to hear about the racoon attack.

That trim is available at West Marine, Defender or other marine supply stores. I forgot the name of the product but you'll recognize it. If you get the correct width when you push it onto the boat the metal grabs the substrate. No glue required. I had also used the material to trim around the moveable side runners when the amas are opened.
