Had a small boo boo turning into my drive today with trailer in tow. The back end of the trailer swung and took off the mirror of the neighbors car. He was cool about it and have an adjuster coming out Monday to cut him a check.
Trailer had minor damage to the skin and a bent up corner molding.
The dents I don't care about and I was able to polish the scrapes out.
Is there an online resource for the corner molding or would my local RV dealer be a better source?
Is that piece called a corner molding?
Thanks!

First thing I'd do is put some sealant where the molding lost it's seal with the corner. You can get the molding from the dealer you got it from, most are pretty standardized.

Thanks for that tip on the sealant.
That was the first thing I did after bending everything back into a somewhat strait line. Filled the gaps with clear proflex. Was looking at online sources for moldings. The problem is shipping. Mine is about 8'6" long. UPS's limit is 8' so anything over that is shipped freight at probably $$$.

most rv dealers will have the molding and can cut to length. Get some new vinyl channel molding and new stainless screws to make it a proper job, and dip the screws in proflex before putting them in. Water loves to wick in through exterior screws.

What about the color. All the ones I have seen online are white. My trailer is a champagne color.

color match it at a paint store if they don't have it at rv dealer. you don't want to buy it online, shipping will kill you being oversize

If you can't find one locally, your dealer, if nice enough, should be able to get one from the manufacturer, and put it in a tt that is being delivered to them and cost zero to ship...That's what mine did.

Never thought of that. I actually have two places to check... my dealer and a small RV repair shop not too far away who I am sure will have it in stock.
