Sticky thread!

[audiorob]

The black herzim strip on my caravan has degraded and become very sticky on the exposed surface. I have tried various cleaners without joy. I know I could just order a roll to match and replace it, but a short strip across the back that I replaced a few years ago is already at least as bad! It’s also a fiddly job up a step ladder!
Any ideas please?

What the ?!??! Is a "Herzim strip"

Can't say I have ever seen it being offered at my local pole dancing emporium

It runs through the awning rail thus concealing the screws. Available in various widths to match

And some falls on stoney ground

Some plastics degrade quicker than others. Sorry, but I think a new one is the answer.
The good news is I found a specialist tool.
Bad news, it costs £76

But this video recons you don't need one.

I have done it, and it is fiddly for sure.
