I saw several posts about this over a year ago, but I didn't see a conclusion. I own a 2015 CS-S T@B that I bought about a year ago. No problems until this week. The difference...the hot weather. With temperatures above 95° the weatherstripping became very pliable, expanded and popped out of the aluminum track. Then the wind caught it and ripped the rest of it out. Then I had a black streamer whipping in the wind alongside the T@B, first one side popped loose and then the other. So I stuffed my streamers into the front window, closed the window and headed for the Oregon coast where the temperature is 60°. Based on the timing mentioned in the other posts, I presume that I have the later, stiffer weatherstripping. At 60° the weatherstripping is quite stiff and would hardly stretch at all. The front end of the weatherstripping is anchored by the handle surround. The back end is stretched past the end of the aluminum channel and tucked under the trailer where it is held in place by a piece of very sticky mastic tape. I presume that the point of the factory rep. using a heat gun was to heat up the weatherstripping so it could be stretched to provide some tension before anchoring the end with the mastic tape. As a temporary fix I tried stretching it about 8" and anchoring it with a piece of duct tape. That worked for about 15 minutes until the weatherstrip expanded further, popped out, and rhe whipping action tore the duct tape. I could easily get the weatherstrip to stretch as much as two feet or so and maybe anchor it with a screw and washer under the trailer, but I worry that the tension created when the temperature cools to 50° might break the weatherstrip. So, do I have to resort to the shoe goo solution, or does the factory or anyone else have a better solution?
