Isinglass Channel Question

redlightning · November 2020

So i am trying to figure out the terminology of the plastic strip/channel that is attached to my radar arch the isinglass slips into when installing. I may have to replace it. TIA.

Is it broken?

I am having to pull the radar arch and have it repaired and painted. Stereo dip $hit got aggressive with it and cracked both sides on the outside at the top speaker location.
I made some calls and was told that TRACKING is name i was looking for. Also the piece on the camper that slips into the tracking is called KEDDERWELT. Has anyone replaced any tracking on their arch?

I replaced it on my 310. They are made of extruded PVC and over time the plasticizers that help it be flexible leach out and they become brittle and crack. Very easy job. Make sure to seal it so that the holes dont let water back in to the metal arch. I used clear silicone for asthetic reasons. Here is where I bought it from:

Thanks. I know the tracking is screwed to the arch. It appears that there is an adhesive also. What did you run into? Did you have to heat the tracking up for the radius? TIA

Yes they used a sealant and you’ll want to clean that off as best you can. I did not need heat to make the turn, one screw at a time a s it turned. But some heat may have made it easier. 310 was 8 years ago so I don’t remember it as clear as the 342

If you can, go back with nylon screws instead of stainless so the screws won’t attack the metal arch again

Howdy, Stranger!
