What is Airstream Belt Trim?

Late model Airstream travel trailers – and many vintage models – are equipped with a 5/8" channel that wraps around the horizontal centerline of the trailer. Inside that channel, a ribbon of high-quality belt trim provides exterior style and functional performance. This belt trim is fixed in place with an adhesive backing, and it's easy to remove and replace should you so desire. Our Airstream Premium Replacement Belt Trim is specifically crafted to fit that 5/8" channel that wraps around the middle of your Airstream's body.

How to Install Replacement Belt Trim and Rub Rail

Tools and Materials Needed:

  • Belt Trim:  Available in two lengths (16'-20' trailer length and 20'-34' trailer length)
  • Adhesive Primer: Shop here, or as part of our convenient bundle
  • Trim Tool: Shop here, or as part of our bundle
  • Denatured Alcohol: Commonly available at your local hardware store
  • Rags: For applying the denatured alcohol and cleaning up any spills
  • Snips: For cutting the belt trim cleanly

     

    Directions:

    1. Extend your awning for full access to the belt trim.
    2. Extend your front panoramic window shade.
    3. Use our Trim Tool to pry up one edge of the old belt trim.
    4. Peel off old belt trim and discard.
    5. Use our Trim Tool to scrape off any adhesive residue that remains in the channel.
    6. Use denatured alcohol to help remove any stubborn gum that remains in the channel.
    7. Apply Adhesive Primer in the channel, while taking care to not spill any primer on the exterior of the trailer. Clean up spills quickly.
    8. Let primer sit for one minute.
    9. Peel off the tape backing on the Belt Trim and secure one end at the start of the channel.
    10. Work slowly to press the new Belt Trim into the channel, working your way around the whole trailer.
    11. When you arrive at the end of the channel, carefully notch the Belt Trim where you want to cut.
    12. Cut the Belt Trim to the right length, and press into the channel. Don't worry if you go over or cut a little bit short: Belt Trim can be pressed into the channel with some wiggling, or gently stretched to meet the end of the channel.
