I would want to remove that outside edge trim before applying replacement vinyl or decals
or whatever, after it's reapplied it's going to hold the edges down and keep them from
peeling.

I think it looks worse than it really is. The thing is filthy and has been in storage for almost 30 years. I think it will polish up pretty nicely, but we'll see. I'm going to give that a shot and then proceed with the vinyl repair after that.

I need to look at this thing closer. I don't think I noticed that the outter edge came off as a seperate piece.

I would imagine it would have to - it got attached somehow, it should come off somehow....
