Your probably right about the stretching,,, like every step in building RVs & Manufactured Homes it is done in what ever manner gets it done the fastest !!!

Found several different brands/ sizes of trim on Amazon. If anyone ordered one that for their Sunseeker, please post link. Rv is in storage and can't get to it to measure width

Width is 1 inch.

as they age the seem to shrink, causing that problem. My solution is to simply replace them when that happens. You can buy the stuff in 100' or 50' rolls

I believe if it is properly installed it should not need to be replacing !!!
Maybe it should be pre srunk ??? You must install as much as possible !!!

I looked at the links you provided. As I posted above I purchased my trim from Ebay as it stated in their listing it is UV protected and made in the USA. If your rig is white I would purchase the white but if its more of a off white buy the colonial white. I have the full body paint and it was almost a perfect match.

so i'm not the only person with that problem! ours is coming loose under the 5th wheel cap where it bends to go down the front of the body. we have full body paint with stripes. but to start i'll loosen the end and push it up so that it is not stretched at the bend. then the wife may get to practice her arts and crafts talents to do any required touch up. I learn something every time I visit this forum!

I would try to install it,,, leave it a few inchs long,,, for a few days if possible !!!
In hopes it would shrink !!!
