Replacing the trim on our "storage closet" door opening

[KyleWade14]

I ordered 50' of this trim to finish off the raw edges in all my storage areas (under the bow seats, wet storage areas behind swim platform seats, etc). I couldn't believe how fast it shipped -- the trim was on my doorstep in less than 24 hours!
Now I have a new weekend project, weather permitting...

How much did 50' run you? I'm wanting to do this to all my compartments also.

@trashygasman 50' of it was $58.00 plus tax and shipping, total was $68.66 and it was here in less than 24 hours - very fast delivery.

Wow! Thanks. What part # did you use? The last one posted here isn't there anymore.

Thank you sir. This is going to be on my short list of things to when I get it out of storage.

I finished installing all the molding this weekend. 50' was enough to do the storage areas behind the swim platform seats, storage under the bow seats and storage under the rear seats. I still have enough left over to do the area around the storage closet / head at a later date, in case that molding starts to give me any problems.

I finally got tired of having sticky glue exposed and gaps in the corners of the door due to the original factory trim shrinking. So I decided to replace it.

I just did this and ended up with a door that won’t quite latch. Thinking about trying to crimp by the latch a little, or switching the seam from the hinge side to the latch. Any thoughts, while I’m in progress?

Move the latch out 1/8", drill new holes.

I just thought I'd cut out all the fiberglass so i can fit in there easier (04 tiny style). If i add 1/4" i might not fit!

 

[BigAbe75]

Well, ended up with this. Though, I did consider moving the latch but just didn’t want to do that very bad.



It wasn’t just that the latch that was too close. I had to remove all that in order to get it to latch.

Other than that, I’m pleased with it. We’ll see what the admiral says tomorrow.

SOOOOOO glad I found this today. My trim fell off over the winter and I told myself AGAIN I'm going to replace that crap. Called and they said it will be here tomorrow. Time to get the oil changed.

Did you have to cut back the material on the inside or did the trim go over the top of it?

I cut mine straight, butted the ends together and all that was visible at the joint was the top of the vinyl.

bumping a very old thread... Seems like McMaster Carr no longer sells this trim in "white". Anyone know of another source for this trim or something similar? Thanks!

See if this will fit the bill:

Thanks. I ordered something similar to this from Amazon. Will give it a shot and report back in a week or so.

This thread got me inspired and went ahead and did this as a winter project, turns out much better that I thought.

Looks good. Is this the McMaster Carr trim you had sitting around or something else?

Old thread but goody. I had replaced years ago with OEM and it’s held….until yesterday. I was covered in the goo yesterday working in the helm. Ordered the trim from McMaster Carr.
