Re: Removing Bumper Bolts Reply #50 – July 03, 2020, 03:45:34 pm Quote from: downgrader - July 03, 2020, 03:18:06 pmAlmost done removing rotted wood Looks like this was completely a results of a leak from the metal strip that covers the area where the two end caps meet. Wonder how long ago it started? That's a lot of missing wood, deeper than I have gone.I have found many LD with loose end caps at the mid-joint. Our LD has been resealed several times, they keep popping free. The rear caps must have a lot a twisting stress applied to them to tear the connections apart.Larry

Coming Along (an update) Reply #53 – September 05, 2020, 03:53:34 pm just a quick update on where I am with the wood rot repair. things are coming along as I cut and fit the new wood. I've been documenting everything and plan to do a comprehensive post from start to finish when I have some time to sit down next month.Trying some new trim molding as the one I originally got from RecPro is just too small in width to cover the 1/4" wood panelling 7 Likes
