Just wanted to share a project that I completed today.
I decided to fix a couple of bay door skins that had started to come loose. The wet bay door had started sagging and the small door next to it was coming loose at the bottom. I wasn't for sure how difficult of a job it was going to be so I started on the larger one and got it finished first.
At first I thought I could do it with the frame still attached to the coach but ended up removing it to make things a lot easier.
Removing the old double sided tape was the toughest part but by the second door I had a pretty good system.
Once both sides of the aluminum mating surfaces were clean, I had Hannah help me set the frame onto the skin. Once the tape touches the joining surface there's no going back so it had to be perfectly aligned .
Total cost was about $150, the 3M tape was $125 and the roloc disks about $25.
