OK, I know there must be a trick to this...
Moving slowly into the process of pulling my rear ceiling cap to reinsulate and paint over the yellow and find out where the water is leaking in.
Needed to pull the wire mold covers off, and could not get them off without breaking them. Used a putty knife to pry and almost got one off, but almost doesn't count in this case...

And now that it's broken, can I order replacements from someone?
Thanks,

Is the panduit cover still available? I thought that the cover used is the old metal covering, and I have been unable to find a source for this. I think everything is made of plastic now, and I'm not sure if it will still fit.
Does anyone have a source for the Panduit?

FWIW, I work for an electrical distributor in Illinois and we do sell the Panduit C3WH6.
PM me if you want more info...

When I bought Panduit for my coach, I contacted Panduit
and asked for distributors in my area.
I just checked both coaches and neither one has any on
it. The 73 has original that is chipped/broken above the
door. If I remember correctly that is the coach I bought it
for and it didn't fit. My 75 has been replaced with a
strip of wood covered with foam and ceiling material
some how screwed to the aluminum track.

To summarize thousands of posts, Panduit is available from many electrical suppliers in your area, but it only fits later mode coaches, the rest of us have to use some wooden/plastic stuff from the big hardware box stores. If done well, it will look even better than stock

Years ago in a prior life Panduit was a client of mine. They are headquartered in Tinley Park, Illinois.
They have distributors all over the place. Almost any electrical supply house handles their products. Graybar, Kirby Risk, All Phase, Fastenall, and Anixter are just a few that come to mind.

Hi J,
No, you most likely cannot remove them without breaking so don't spend too much time trying. Yes, you can get replacements in 6 foot lengths and they aren't too expensive. Google Panduit C3WH6 for sources. I found new pieces at a recycling outfit for about 1/3 the normal price.

Got a private snail mail from GMCer Forest Crow in Lagrange, IN. He used a Lowe's "skirting" product (#61067, #555216) though I couldn't find the PN on their website, but he says it's still available at his local, at $4.67 for 8'. It does require some modification to fit. He doesn't do the photo site, so I scanned and uploaded the pix he sent me. Pretty nice looking option.
