Size of lacing tool for window rubber trims
I've tried to ask in Technical but have not received a reply so I'm trying here (sorry to trespass). Anyone know what size lacing tool I need to buy to fit the black plastic trim into the side window rubbers in my Autosleeper please, or anyone able to tell me how to find out/work it out? If I measure across the widest part of the trim do I get that size or do I need something a size larger. Sorry if this sounds a dumb question. I have tried google, WIKI etc but not been able to determine which I need. Many thanks folks.

Keith.That would probably be because you hijacked someone else's thread,instead of starting your own.

Any chance of a photo of yours? I need to get one too, and a photo of one that works would help to narrow down the choice.

Re: Size of lacing tool for window rubber trims
I used the jk diamond lacing tool when I did mine worked fine
As sais by mm its just a piece of wire on a rod
Probably get them cheaper than jk
I can measure it if needed

I know, very naughty of me. Sorry.(And the above wasn't meant as a criticism, I was just trying to explain why I had put a Tech question in General Chat so that I wouldn't get a rollacking from a moderator). Ouch, that slap on the wrist hurt.


Anyway, thanks everyone who's offered to help, I'm sorted via Dazco

Re: Size of lacing tool for window rubber trims
All sorted now. Trims back in place. Many thanks to Hakuna Matata and Dazco for the great advice (though not sure what size hammer you meant
) and to Dazco for the loan of the equipment. (Had to be careful how I worded that one
