Does anyone know how the pad above the entry door is held in place?

There is a pad for above the door? I have bumped my head so many times that I have been thinking about getting out my old work hard hat.

Never paid much attention to it, so I don't know. Are you having a problem with yours?

No problem with it but I have a couple of areas just above it where the ceiling vinyl was never adhered to the aluminum from day one. If I remove the pad I think I can get to the "bubble" with some cement without having to poke a hole in the vinyl.
I see no plugged screw caps. I wonder if it glued or double sided taped in place????

Disclaimer - our trailer is much older, but: Ours has two screws covered by a plastic cap that just pops off. It's just a piece of wood under the fabric.

I haven't had a chance to look at mine but I assume it's like you said, double sided tape.
Looks like a call to Jackson Center is in your future.
Let us know what you find out.

Got a return email from AS. The pad is glued on in my unit. It really doesn't want to come off, so this job will be put off longer.

Bummer. I suppose you could order a new one as it sounds like removing it is a destructive process.
I know you want to avoid cutting the vinyl, but is there an artistic/creative pattern you could cut in the vinyl to glue behind it? A compass face? I don't know....sorry it's not attached well. Don (our tour guide there last week) didn't sound too sales-ish on the adhesive for that sort of thing :-(

I know re-adhering old, decomposing foam doesn't work, but mine just never stuck at birth. Lack of adhesive in that area I'd guess. So I think trying is worth the effort.

You can always hang a stuffed toy duck over your door. It'll do one of two things tell you to ''duck'' or pad your head if you don't.

My grandfather did that with an old rubber duckie. It took us a while to figure out what he was trying to say, but he was just as proud as he could be with his cleverness.

I got the idea on this site and passing it along. I could only wish that I was this clever.
