No the damage is not extensive. It amounts to a piece of the lip that is
about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Which was a result of a blow out?
before we got the MH. I assumed that it was fiberglass in the beginning and
bought a small kit to fix it but now see that it is plastic instead. So
figured that I may not be able to use the fiberglass and would have to go a
different route. Sure didn't want to ruin the flair by melting it or
something by using the wrong material on it. The front is in perfect
condition just the small area on the side.
And by the way Jim I had gotten the rubber and felt channeling to do my
front side driver and passenger windows from you awhile back and had no
trouble with one of the windows but an unable to finish the other window,
either I can get the top in or the bottom but not both as the fit is to
tight to pull channel through, a new piece and an old piece will work but
not 2 new pieces. Any hints to what to do?
Thanks,
