All of the trim around the back window, including the corner panels with the speaker grill are disintegrating, what is everyone doing to preserve or replace these?

Mine were painted by the PO before I got the coach 14 years ago, and in spite of being parked outside in the Arizona desert, they have remained in pristine condition.

Not really sure what you can do about the situation now that they have started to deteriorate. Maybe wire brush them and paint with a good plastic paint like Krylon Fusion or SEM.

What is the “deterioration? Turned yellow, poor surface finish, cracks. Whatever the type of deterioration will determine type of recommendation.

Completely turning to dust, brittle, like rust on a 72 nova parked in New Jersey for 20 years

Call Sirum GMC they have replacement fiberglass from Michael J Sadlon. Mine fell apart as soon as I touched them.
