    Delamination?

    Hello, anyone have problems with the gel coating pulling away from the sidewall? This is where the left sidewall joins the nose cap. Any advice would be appreciated.

    That is the trim strip silicone pulling the vinyl decal away.

    I think it is pulling the paint off the sidewall.

    Ahhhh.....makes sense. So you think I can slit it with a razor close to the trim then fill the gap with Geocel caulk?

    I think if you cut the decal, it will lay down. You can then caulk if there is a gap between the screw cover and the wall.
