I am planning to use Trimlok to trim around the windows. Does anyone know
how much it takes?

It is sold in 250 ft. rolls minimum. Does anyone have any they want to
sell? Does anyone want to share a roll?

Vince,
I guess I am having a little trouble on how you plan on using this
material on the windows? If you're considering the seal of the coach
windows to the coach opening the butyl rubber seal tape seems to work
well and I have not had and leakage issues on the windows on our
coach. We installed the new style windows in 2001. Topeka when the
coach was painted in 2002 resealed the edges of the window with seal
sealer before painting. Looks very nice. Again explain your plan.

I think he means on the interior trim. When we were shopping we saw a coach that had that missing and it made a big difference.

Vince,

I am interested in sharing a roll.

I'm guessing you will be getting black. I would prefer beige, but I
believe that minimum order is 1000' !! So black will do. By my
calculations, 78 feet will do all side windows. I plan to do only the
four front side windows, so will need only 62 feet. ( That's figuring 2
- 2' windows, 2 - 3' windows, and 2 - 5' windows)

Do you have any experience with this item? Does it work for all
years? (we have a '77)

To answer your question ....I don't know. Maybe someone else can jump in on
that.

The old interior panel is 1/8" I think. I have replaced all of that with
1/4 " material covered with "pleather". I am having "trimlok" send some
samples. I will be ordering 1/2" black material so it may be too wide if
you still have the original paneling. Call me if you would like to
discuss. 757-876-7778(c)

Replying to an earlier post.....this is for the interior trim to replace the
white? OEM trim.

I just trimmed my interior with .the Trimlock type edging, and I think it worked out very well. As the original type of trim is no longer available, I think this is the best alternative. There is a bit of patience required while installing it, but I did it myself in a couple of days in my spare time. With a helper, it would go much quicker. It did take about 75 feet to do all the windows on my Palm Beach.

I bought mine from McMaster-Carr as I did use the black trim and I could order only thr 75 feet I needed. If you pull up their website, you can see the profiles they have available. I assume that they are all buying the same trim from the same suppliers, so it really depends on how much you need.

George, which catalog page was your trim on? And what did they call it?
I see16 pages of "trim", and at 14.4K download speeds it takes a long
time to check each page.

Thanks,
RonC

McMaster-Carr calls it Trim Molding & Push-On Edge Trim. I used part #8507K16 for my 4mm thick paneling, but it's available in a whole array of sizes for your needs. Available in 10,25,50, and 100 foot lengths.

I have an old catalog, and it's on page 3466 in mine, but I don't think that will apply anymore.

Thanks, George, I found it.
Now all I need to do is decide which one will fit my coach.

This summer while finishing the interior of my coach, I purchased various lengths and widths of trimlok through a vendor on ebay.

$1.00 per foot.

just type trimlok on the ebay search and you'll find the vendor who has several styles and widths

I am using it to trim out both the paneling and the alum window retainer.
My thought is to hold the paneling tight and trim out the window.
