Newbie alert!!! Help with obtaining trim

[Nigel_374532784]

I've just bought a yr 2000 Crown 472 which is our first van. It is in very good condition generally but i'm looking to tidy a few things up over the winter.

There is a plastic capping around the edges of all the locker openings which in most cases has shrunk, and in a couple of the lockers has come out of the slot completely and twisted beyond repair.

It is light brown in colour and has a barb which pushes into a slot cut in the chipboard. Question then is can this capping be purchased for me to fit myself? If so, where from?

Thanks for reading this, any help appreciated

Nigel, if the trim is still intact try warming it with a hairdryer and pushing it back in place even if twisted it will regain it's shape. I have similar trim in my van and in tight corners it had shrunk away from the wood. Warm it and push it back - if you can use a small roller (similar to the ones for painting in tight spaces) whilst warm even better, If you havn't got a roller use a damp cloth. It may need more than one attempt to get it spot on - it's worth trying before spending money and it worked for me.

Nigel-from your description, if this an oak/cherry colour, then this is available from Swift dealers.

Although the tip to warm and refit the existing does work, I'm afraid it tends not to last, as it shrinks with the cold, putting you back where you started
