Bosy side molding

December 19, 2009, 05:09:29 pm

Does anybody have a source for the side molding that covers the compartment hinges and floor/body junction? It might also be called a waist molding.
On our Intrigue it was about 4 inches wide, on the Inspure it is maybe an inch.
I need to replace a portion on my coach and it is apparently glued to the body. Removing it to repair a hinge may require destroying it and I don't want to do that before having some replacement material.

If I am understanding you correctly, it's the piece that runs all around the coach just above the bay doors. I had to locate a piece in October to repair a broken door. This piece is actually the upper portion of the hinge and it has a rubber insert in it. It is screwed to the coach body and then caulked. The rubber insert hides the screws. The whole thing is painted out with the body colour.
I lucked out when I was in Junction City having the door re-painted. Roger from Artistry in Motion managed to get a piece from CC which is (was) right across the street from their shop.
I don't know how much you need but I think Roger may have had some left over after our project.

Before that I had tried all over Eugene looking for the mfgr. I never did find out who actually makes the stuff. If I had known the final outcome for CC then, I may have tried to secure more of this since it seems to be hard to find. Maybe it was not used on newer coaches?? '05 Inspire 51442

Thanks Richard, I'll contact him and hope. I am going to try and remove only the portion for the hinge I need to repair. It will leave a small gap but I can live with it better than nothing.
