How would you apply this on a car door? Do you remove the plastic sheet that's normally between the steel and the trim and replace it with this?

Not really sure what you mean... you remove the plastic part on the inside of the door and apply it to the door and replace the plastic cover. I would have a pro do this for you if you are this novice since you may have a hard time getting the cover back on or lose the pins or metal latches that hold the cover on.

I left the stock plastic sheet in place and trimmed the Thermo TEC to fit the door panel. It is easier to apply this way versus trimming around all of the mechanical actuators on the door

It is self adhesive. You peel back the back like a sticker and stick it on the door after you remove the plastic.

I'm no expert by any means, so I would have to refer you to Google or YouTube to help you find your answer. I will give you my best answer as what I plan on doing. I will make sure that the inside skin of the door is clean by using acetone or similar product and only apply enough to cover about 50%. i will also keep the vapor barrier on the door to help keep moisture down to a minimum. I hope this helps out a little. sorry for not being to thorough.

Remove the plastic or paper from the inside door shell, and it will stick right to the metal. Of course you have to prep the door shell it's going to stick to, before applying it. Trim to fit, and reassemble.

Depends, It would probably make a difference if you coated the whole door but there are products more for that such as mass loaded vinyl(mlv) which is used for walls and doors. This stuff would be more for around the cracks and in the door jamb. That said, if you stuck it to the door by the sheet it would help, but say goodbye to the paint!

Very easy to install. Remove two recessed wood screws on top of trim piece that goes over top of crank mechanism . One at each end. Then gently pry the trim piece up to remove. If the window has been painted a few times you may have to poke around a little to find the screws Pry the piece up and out and the mechanism is exposed

I don't have direct experience with using it on a plastic area of the car. I would email the company and ask them. As a note, I had great success with the product repairing about a six inch long scratch on my car (you must follow the directions exactly). So, it would be worth finding out if it will work on the plastic area of car.

Our is the same way, we decided to buy the "extreme Velcro" and cut it into pieces. We used the velcro to adhere to around the door frame and house and it's worked like a charm. We ended up doing this on two doors, and it works so well, we left if up over thew winter. We only have to replace one piece of velcro that came off the house (adhesive wore off). By far the best solution. The velcro is here: VELCRO - Industrial Strength - Extreme - 4" x 1" Strips, 10 Sets - Titanium

both in a way. you drop the window channel down and clip it in, then it uses double sided stick tape to seal it to the door. the black edge on the widow frame on the car is a vinyl wrap so if you remove them, you will not have to worry about paint being pulled off

I only have that problem on my passenger side rear door. I thought about using an Xacto knife and kind of trim the front where the window is hitting.

Use a razor blade held at an angle. Then go over it again with the blade and windex. The only way I can see it ruining anything is if it was placed on the inside of the window, then removing it would/could mess up the tint.

Yes this will replace that. I would watch a youtube video on how to replace it will show how to take the door panel off .

Hi Kelly, I bought and installed on my RV replacing the OEM vinyl trim. It worked great. The measurement is the total width, not just the exposed area. You will squeeze the material in half allowing it to fit into your trim and spring open to fill it.

After 4 months of use the metal plate that touch the magnet came out, and I had hard time to close the door. Here is the solution that I used, get the instant glue (e.g., super glue, gorilla or crazy glue)and apply it on the back side of the metal plate and press it hard and hold it for 1-2 minute. For best result, keep the door open for 2-3 hours and let the glue dry completely. Now close & open the door in normal fashion. By the way, I used super glue that I had in my garage. For last 5 months it is working fine and hopefully, it will resolve your problem. If it works for you, please review and make your comments so that other people can use the same technique. Good luck.

Be sure the bumper is clean and dry. There are pieces of the peel off tape hanging off to the side of the trim. Do not peel them off, yet. Make sure this tape is extending from under the trim when it is in place. Note: There is a raised triangle at the center of the trim piece that lines up with the rear door latch. With the trim in place, carefully pull the tape from the adhesive (don't press the trim too hard or the tape will tear!) and let the trim stick in place. Once all pieces are pulled off, press the trim to the bumper firmly to make sure it sticks completely.

Hi Debbie, I'm a consumer like you who happened to have bought the Camco Vinyl Trim Insert product. I've helped some other potential buyers who have had questions and thus my reason for writing you. It's difficult to answer your question because of some variables only you may know. Let's start with your current trim. How is it affixed to your RV wall. This trim from Camco was manufactured to replace trim found in a metal trim rail, usually run along the RV exterior. Installation is simple, once you pull out the old trim with a screw driver or other tool. The new trim strip bends with your fingers in half down the middle, across its 1" width, and pushes down into the RV metal trim rail. When you release your fingers the trim expands into the U shaped trim rail channel and allows the trim to hold fast in a slightly bowed shape. The very outside edges are slightly thicker which help anchor it in the railing. I'm not familiar with trim channeled railing being used on RV interiors. This trim is about 1/16" thick and an 1" wide. Its soft and flexible and perhaps could be used for your application with out a railing by applying an adhesive to one side or putting small finish nails to hold it place. Hope my words help you! PS. I'm married to a Debbie, I find them great folks!!! :-) Regards, Dan

it comes with a plastic weatherstrip, similar to the one one the door handle side, make sure you don't throw it away

A heat gun of some sort (such as a hair drier) should loosen up the adhesive enough for it come be pulled off. Then you would want to clean the residue off the door.

i would say use goof off to clean the adhesive off the factory trim.Then wash off goof off with a mild cleaner. It should be fine.Or even use alcohol to clean off the trim. You have to use alcohol before putting on the wood trim. it worked great. I have had my wood trim now for about 6 mo. love, love, love it.

I've never tried to remove mine even though some posts here say it'll fall off over time (mine's been on the bottom of my door for two years now). Perhaps some sort of oil-based product will remove it or at least help, such vegetable oil or even wd-40. You may have to let it set for a few before trying to remove the strip. Good luck!
