Evening all,have just got the rain strip that stops all the water going down the side of your van,its nice and white but a bit stiff. Does it need some sort of lubrication? or just a big push. Thanks Neil.

Just a big pull down, inch at a time , from one end to the other😃

I found it quite hard to do but it made a reassuringly firm connection when finished!
I remember that it was easier if it was angled back towards the roof as I pulled it downwards.

My guess would be one of these? I vaguely remember Deeps trying to work out where it went when he got one with his new Walker awning
Forget the mounted roll out awning and look at the strip on the awning rail.

You could try a wipe with fairy liquid along the part that gets inserted into the rail, or it may be just a case of cleaning the awning rail out, if it's tight you can get awning rail opener which you push through to ensure adequate clearance

Can one of these strips be used with a full awning to prevent this or are they only intended for use with the pull-out sunshade wotsits?

Deeps got one with his full Walker awning so yes .....I think it clips on to the top of the awning rail and acts as a larger gutter?

This is just my understanding............I don't have one.

I vaguely remember something about setting the van a bit front high to allow the water to run off the back quicker too ?
