Trim Replacement

During our latest trip, ALL of the molding / screw covers on my 2018 Surveyor 247BHDS cracked and starting flailing on the highway. (Trailer is 3 years old and stored in covered parking)

I removed the moldings, and tried to buy a couple of types on Amazon, but they do not fit correctly. Camping World was no help, and I’ve tried to contact Forest River a few times. The moldings appear to be between 3/4 and 7/8 when flat.

Can anyone point me to a good source for a replacement?

Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it.

Hi , I have replaced all the trim on my new Flagstaff , the trim I replaced it with is a rubber trim that goes into and over the slot .
Do not buy the standard vinyl stuff it's junk . It doesn't keep the water out . If you contact me I can send you a 1 foot piece of mine to see if it fits and if you like it , just let me know.

Thanks for offering to send me a piece- but I was able to locate it. I was able to find the correct 7/8 trim from another RV dealer in a 100 ft roll. The new stuff is still Vinyl, but it is about twice as thick as the original trim put on by forest river. It also says UV resistant, but only time will tell......
