Carver Owners Forum

Since buying our boat we have had an ongoing issue with the vinyl wallcovering in the master stateroom separating where it meets the door frame. See pics.

Then I had an idea about using vinyl "piping" to trim out the door frame which would hide the separation and maybe even prevent it from getting worse. I looked around and found the following on Amazon. You can order samples for $2 each to get an idea for color matching. We ordered Bone, Off-white and light tan....and ended up going with the off-white. Then we ordered 10yds to do the areas we were having issues with.

There is a little void behind the door trim that allows the piping to slide in and it stays in place by just a friction-fit, so there is no gluing/fasteners to have to deal with.

And here is the final installation. When I upload a vertical pic of the whole door, the site rotates it, so here is a section that keeps the perspective normal.

Looks good!

Looks good. No one would ever know.
