replacing rub rail
#2
Sorry to hyjack your thread Dono. But it fits in with the info I need. I have a nylon rubrail with a rope insert in it. the rope was rotten so I yanked it out. Now I can't get the new one in. Whats the trick?

I replaced my rubrail this year with the Taco semi-rigid universal kit. I can't say enough about how well it turned out. Its very easy to do with two people.
fruitta, I don't have the rubber insert in mine, but I've heard that if you heat the insert with a heat gun a bit you will be able to wedge it in there easier.

I too plan to replace the white rubber insert on my Hustler Slingshot, but am having trouble finding a replacement. The insert is .750" high. The cross section resembles the top of a mushroom. I thought rubrails.com would have them, but didn't find them on their web site. Heat gun, rubber mallet and a few putty knives is what I've been told works best. An extra pair of hands would also help. Any thoughts where I could buy the insert would be appreciated. Lou
