Hi Everyone, the strip around the door of my Troll is coming off. It's a 1999 model so suppose it has just got a bit tired. Any suggestions about getting another loop. it's one continuous loop so not sure if that presents any problems in terms of getting a replacement. Better still can I re-secure it? I've just tucked it back in for now but expect it to pop out.

I'm pretty sure the door trim isn't actually a loop. There is a 'join' in it somewhere. eBay will have the replacement Herzim strip by the metre.

Are you talking about the 11cm Herzim strip.I have just ordered enough to redo the whole of my Troll 530GT from Jandi, they sell it at .50p/m
Mine seems to come adrift when it gets very hot, the strip gets very soft and stretchy, it's age I presume!!

Hi Everyone, thanks for your replies/advice. My next question is what size Herzin strip do I need to use? It looks a lot thinner than the strip (yellow on my 1999 model) that goes around the middle of the van. Suggestions appreciated. Peter

Thanks for that. Best wishes, Peter

When you ring Jandi, get yourself seated with a cup of tea.

Hi Wildermot,

I have just refitted the narrow herzim strip around the bottom of my Troll, got mine from Jandi.Today has rained on and off all day so I am going to wait until a fine day before I attempt to do the strip around the door.I know the door lifts off, and it's a two person job to put it back.I then presume that I shall remove the lower hinge pin in order to get the strip in behind. Has anyone else done this? Is this where the join is?

Do you have to take the door off to do this job?

No need to remove the door. Fitting a new strip is a simple, albeit fiddly, job. It’s not a loop. Herzim strip is widely available from eBay and caravan shops but has a slightly thicker and stiffer profile than the original Eriba strip which makes it a little more awkward. Immersing it in hot water makes it more pliable to start off, but it cools rapidly. A spray with soapy water eases the fitting. A special “car glass filler strip tool” (eBay £12) simplifies the task but a very blunt screwdriver or (preferably) a small plastic spatula will do, but be very careful as your hand is certain to slip at some point and that aluminium door skin is extraordinarily easy to scratch!

I’m going to do this job at the weekend. The door hinge has 3 bolts. Two go along the 11 mm slot that the strip is inset into. So it seems I have to remove these bolts so I can remove the old strip and fit the new . One hinge at a time. Has anyone else come across this operation?

Hello, I have to do the same job too. I have two questions. The first: after taking the door off its hinges, is it mandatory to remove the hinges from the wall? The second: what size is the strip? I found 11mm but it is too small and moves in the canal. I tried with a 15mm size but it swells a lot in the center. Do you know if there are intermediate measures?

according t 10 year blog
is your eriba same body style they changed height of door not sure of groove may need to consider that

the hinge bolts do come out to fit the strip behind, can hide the join behind the hinge
