Decorative color trim

Anyone have any experience replacing the color trim on the older tab camper since it cracks or breaks off?

Year and model of your camper will really help, since there are several variations of trim on various years of trailers. A photo will help, too.

Whoa! Beautiful!

"Replacing" would difficult, maybe, because those parts will be hard/impossible to find.

If the plastic is simply cracked, it may be possible to use various ABS plastic "welding" ideas to cover/fix the cracks. Some owners have even used "helicopter tape", or tape used to repair motorcycle fairings, etc.

There are a lot of threads about that sort of repair.

This thread has some ideas, but I think the conversation is more about the thicker trim around the roof edges.

Another with several products to fix cracks.

This thread also starts with the roof edge trim, but on the second page there is a discussion of "helicopter" tape for plastic crack repair. My 2017 has a lot of plastic "cladding" in various spots, and some small cracks, and I've been thinking about the tape repair myself.
