Just see if you could reach in behind and push it back out. I could do it if I had to on our TT. It is very thin aluminum on our 246 RKS. I think trying to remove that part and put it back on would be a head ache.

Just take a roller from the inside, that's how I did the JayFeather lower panels.
My bright Son in Law hit the panels a few times with the lawnmower.

Insurance company will pay to have the J-wrap replaced. Been through it before. Mine was much worse.

I don't recall. It was a couple years ago on a Forest River unit. Tire blew and wipped out the J-wrap, fender skirt and the insulation and underbelly barrier. Also the trim around the step. Insurance paid for it and a local dealer did the repairs.

lol, just had 2 ranier's go within a week, 1 with radial separation, one flat while driving. 10,000 miles, took 3rd one with same mileage and age off and a 4th same age, but about 5000 miles (was a spare for one that took a nail), all just over 2 years old, I was going to replace them next spring..... Put 4 new Noble brand load range E tires on.

Going to see how they do, suppose to be imported by Goodyear...
I've had some goodyear on a few of my vehicles and wasn't fond of them.
On my way south, 1200 miles in 4 days, tire pressure increased only 6-10 psi and temp 20-25 degrees with all 4 within a few PSI/Temp of each other... outside temp was 80's to 90's.

I took my 3yr old Rainiers off intact and replaced them with Carlisle Radial HDs.
I feel way more confident with the Carlisle HDs over the Rainiers.

I just replaced 4 Gladiator tires after two blowouts with Goodyear Endurance. They did not separate as usual but it looked like someone had taken a knife and cut from outside to the rim straight in! I don't know if there was a seam there or what but two tires did the same thing. They came off as soon as I got home.

I paid deductible, ins covered rest. One visit to order parts, returned to RV repair place that my dealer farmed it out to. They finished the work in 1 day. Mine was white and did not require any painting.

I had two blowouts in a row about ten miles apart on the RV I have today. Destroyed both sides of the RV and took out the brakes. Insurance covered it to the tune $3500. Had a blowout on a Montana I had last and it wiped out the sheet metal and black tank. It pays to get good tires with a very reputable and long history record.
