As post says got damp behind drivers seat on my scout 2005. Right behind were the vertical strip that joins cab to hab is which has a moulding at top.
Spoke to Autotrail earlier and this is what he said.
The vertical strip is a two part moulding. In order to remove the white d-mould you need to deform the capping using a mallet. This will then release itself from the base profile. This part cannot be re-used so a replacement would need to be purchased from our parts department. The carrier profile will then be revealed which is simply screwed in place. This can be cleaned and re fitted. Originally it would have been fitted using a non-setting bedding sealant. Today we use an MS adhesive similar to Sikaflex. To refit the d-mould you need to clip one edge on first then carefully tap the piece in place using a rubber mallet and block to spread the force. Any slight gaps should then be sealed.
You cannot reply to this email direct so was just wondering if anyone has experience removing the above to reseal?
2 part moulding I'm assuming one on inside behind wall boards and one on outside?? Mallet for the moulding doesn't sound great
