What to use for trim inserts

[Mrcrowley]

The old trim is discolored and to fragile to save. I want to replace trim but am wondering if anyone has tackled that kind of project?

If you are referring to your 1977 Sovereign, the trim molding inserts are still available for both interior and exterior.

• i/2-inch Blue Beltline Insert
• 1/4-inch Blue Beltline Insert
• 1.0-inch Blue Rub-Rail Insert
• White Plastic Nosing Insert

I have seen other sizes posted at various times, but I suspect that all of the nosing and insert trim pieces can still be located through an Airstream dealer or service center.

Good luck with your investigation!

As Kevin says, all sizes are widely available and easy to remove and replace.

If you have a table saw and some laminate (Formica or similar) of your choice, you can rip strips that will fit in to the interior of your trailers aluminum trim. I did that in my previous trailer. Just use the Vertical Grade laminates. It is thinner and slides in very easily.

Some of the trim inserts are aluminum. Specifically, the round overs on the overheads and beds/gaucho and the inserts that fit into the plastic tambour rollers. They are all aliminum pieces with the wood grain cemented directly to them. So, if u want all to match, be selective with your replacements.
