Dense proprietary EPDM rubber insert trim and screw track cover for RV, marine, and utility vehicle trim moldings. Snaps into 5/8" tracks and molding channels with no adhesive, no tools, and no glue โ just press and snap in place. Made from a proprietary EPDM rubber compound instead of vinyl or plastic for better UV resistance, superior impact and scuff defense, and improved performance against the elements. Commonly found on Coachman, Cruiser RV, Forest River, Keystone, and Winnebago models. Also available in white. Black, 25 ft. Hand crafted, made in USA.
The Steele Rubber Products 90-3729-240 is a 7/8" H x 3/8" W dense rubber press-in insert trim that serves two functions simultaneously: it finishes the exposed face of a trim molding channel and covers the screw heads or fasteners used to secure the molding base to the RV exterior. The insert snaps firmly into standard 5/8" molding tracks with a press-and-snap installation that requires no adhesive, no glue, and no special tools โ the rubber profile is dimensioned to grip the channel walls and hold securely once seated.
What distinguishes this trim insert from the vinyl and plastic alternatives commonly available is the material: Steele Rubber uses a proprietary EPDM rubber compound rather than standard vinyl. This matters in outdoor RV use because EPDM rubber significantly outperforms vinyl in UV and ozone resistance over the long term โ vinyl trim inserts become brittle, crack, and shrink after prolonged sun exposure, particularly on the south and west faces of an RV exterior. EPDM rubber holds its flexibility and shape through extended UV and temperature cycling. The denser rubber construction also provides better defense against impacts and scuffs from road debris, campsite brush, and everyday handling than a rigid vinyl insert can offer.
The 90-3729-240 is designed for use as a standalone replacement insert in existing 5/8" molding tracks, and is also the correct insert for Steele Rubber's Track Molding Base (70-4668-247) โ a peel-n-stick rubber molding base designed to accept this exact 7/8" insert trim profile. The 25-foot pre-cut length covers full-length exterior runs on most RV models in a single strip.

Track Size: This insert trim fits 5/8" tracks and molding channels. Verify the internal channel width of your existing molding track before ordering. Installing into a track wider or narrower than 5/8" will result in a loose fit or an insert that will not seat properly. RV Fitment: This insert trim is commonly found on Coachman, Cruiser RV, Forest River, Keystone, and Winnebago models, but compatibility is not guaranteed. This is not an exhaustive list โ other RV makes and models may use the same 5/8" molding track. Always measure the channel width on your specific RV before purchasing. The actual fit may vary based on individual models, production years, and manufacturing variations. White Version Available: This item is Black (Part 90-3729-240 / 70-3979-240). A white version is available as Part 70-4689-240 for RVs with white or light-colored exterior trim.
