Cool International Window Gasket Coming Loose

Our trailer is only a few years old and babied. In other words when not in use it is kept in our Morton Building. We finally found a spot we are going to use on a semi-permanent basis. Entered the camper only to find that the screen was coming out and part of the gasket was out of its place ...is this repairable? If yes, how? Or is this something that has to be replaced entirely? Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

The screen "spline" some what shrinks in time.

It's most likely to pop out at the corners, if at all.

Simply reinstall it, making sure that it is pushed down as far as possible in the channel.

Thumbs up Thanks Andy

I tried that ...but I was concerned that was not the right thing to do So I didn't "force it" ...I will try with a little more "oomph". Thanks!
