Am I being a drip?

We’ve just been checking our new Dometic 365 awning today. (Wasn’t so easy in the afternoon heat!)
The awning itself seems great, although we didn’t try pegging it into our block paving.🤪 However, the drip strip was another matter altogether; I found it very stiff and awkward, needing soaking in hot water before we could finally get it fixed, at the cost of skin on my knuckles.
Is it meant to stay on or am I being a wimp?

Steve, I thought a learned chap such as your good self knew all about that horrible strip of white plastic. I damaged the awning rail of my 2017 Triton fitting it. Get yourself the seals Direct version. https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shop/ets1395-20955 You will not regret the purchase.

I have left our gutter strip on for nearly 5 years now with no issues. It is not affected by towing or the weather.

I threw my rain guard in the bin and bought the one from sealsdirect


When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

We bought the Seals Direct version too (and it's great) - never had the Kampa one as we had heard horror stories...
