Fiberglass separating from frame

[Rauk]

Hi, first time posting, RT 210 owner since 2011. I see a gap developing between where the fiberglass shell meets the drivers side door frame. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to reattach the fiberglass to the frame or know how they do it at the factory? JB weld or an epoxy of sort? Thanks in advance.

I had same thing happen on my 2006 RT 210P. Had a local auto body shop repair it. First repair failed when the crack reappeared in a few months. The shop owner checked with another shop that did fiberglass work. He did the repair again and it has been perfect for over 2 years now. I should have asked them what material they used.

I suggest you go to a shop that does fiberglass repair work. If you can find a shop that does Corvettes that may be best. Boat shops are another option.

Thanks! I’ll check out those options you suggested.

Even in my 2019C210P

I had my shell separate at the same spot, at the seam and attachment point behind my driver door. I live near Kitchener and took my van to a spot recommended by my local Roadtrek service centre.

Thanks! My 2007 210p is put away for the winter but I will check around some more to find the right spot. My RV guy never heard of it happening but I appreciate all the help I’ve gotten on this forum. I’m seeing around the side entry door now too.

This crack eventually led a a gaping crevice with panel separation
