Window Trim Issue

[Gizzerd]

I bought My 2011 SV 291 in May and I really like this unit, A couple of minor problems but the dealer took care of them and have been great . But I was inspecting it and found this(see attached pics) minor problem with a couple of windows.

The window doesn't leak and this seems to be just an outer piece of trim stock. The dealer is just minuets from the building I keep TT stored during the cold days, so its no big deal for me to take it to them..

SO, Do you fine folks think I should just replace this trim myself, have my dealer take care of it ,or not worry about it for now.

I would get it replaced. Its up to you to take it in or not, I find its usually quicker to do it myself.

The problem is they over stretch the rubber when its installed and after a few months and temperature changes the pieces shrink back down.

I would just use some black silicone caulk and go around and seal all the joints around all of your windows....

i had that happen to the windows on my bus. i just bought clear silicone and filled it up.

bsmall, dang.. never thought to get black!!

I had the same thing happen with mine. I got some black RTV to fill the gap...pretty close color match.

An automotive glass shop will have black sealer that works better than silicon and can be sanded down for a better blended finish

i would have the dealer fix it, the camper is still new i would not start off jerry rigging things,

just my 2 cents

I have a 2010 SV 291 and most of the windows have the same deal. I'm thinking that I might try the black silicon on it too.

The more I think about this is that I want to use the original product to fill the gap that the shrinking seals have left. It's not caulking....anybody have an idea or know what this stuff is?

The same thing affected our SP293 (New in July 2010) - the window caulking shrunk. I took it back to the dealer and they attempted to fix it with black caulk. The repair looked terrible so I insisted they redo it. A much better result the second time.
