Yes, it is a CareFree topper. I have watched the removal videos. I was hoping that there may be a way to just loosen it or get some slack in the vinyl so I can get up in there to remove the old tape and apply the new Eternabond tape. However, I am beginning to think that I need to actually remove the vinyl as though I were replacing it. Maybe I should put a new vinyl top on while I have it off, if I have to go to that extreme to get access to the tape.
A word to those with a new trailer or a topper-less slide out: If you are going to put a topper on your slide, remove the cheap black plastic tape and replace it with Eternabond before you put on the topper. Or if the tape is black tape is new and still adhering, you can do like Rustic Eagle and Eternabond over it.
The "caulk ramp" idea is good; I was already planning to do exactly that with GeoCel clear. Thank you for your help, guys!
