Cracked black trim cost on 2017 Tab 320S?

I have a crack from hail damage on one of the trim pieces that runs from the back end of the trailer to about the middle of the top of the roof.  Has anyone here ever replaced one and cost?  Thank you

    I have a similar crack and our dealer said not to worry about it that's it's just cosmetic. I think he just popped some flexible caulk in there for us. I honestly didn't even notice it.

    Hi Colleen,
     Just wanting to know if you had any pictures of the before and after repair by your dealer.
     So if its true that the trim is "just cosmetic" that would mean that there's no way of moisture entering?     ( as in where the side wall and roof meet? )

    @ColleenD2   My trim wasn't cracked except around some of the screw holes holding it in place which were loose, but the trim pieces were separating from the trailer so I first removed them and then inquired about replacing all 4 pieces on my 2018 320S rooftop. There are two trim pieces on either side of the top. 
    The dealer here in Phoenix could order them for a total of $1100, so I passed and did a little DIY on them. 
    We removed all four pieces, washed them and then reinforced them on the inside and over the screw holes with this gorilla tape. Then we put them back on and caulked the seams with this clear Geocell caulk which was recommended by nuCamp for an outside sealant. 

    The sealing was cracking and exposed due to the loose trim. We scraped all of this off. 




    The broken screw holes causing the trim to pull away from the rooftop. 


    We removed all of the rooftop trim pieces, cleaned and reinforced with gorilla tape.
