I have the same problem with the molding coming out. In my case it is from the boat rubbing against the dock bumpers. You can easily push it back in by hitting it with the palm of your hand. DO NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER, no reason to risk damaging the hull or the molding.

It was going to try with a rubber mallet and a screw driver. However, you make a good point ... so I guess I will forget about the screw driver.

I noticed dots of glue under the molding. Did you try applying some fresh glue when putting the molding back in place?

Thanks for your input!!

Use your hand if you can (and you probably can with some work). If that does not work use a chunk of 2x4 and a rubber mallot. I put the 2x4 on top of the trim and whack away. I have not used glue on my last 2 sea-doo boats and the moding has stayed on after re-application well. My molding gets knocked loose once or twice a year when I dock it for a week at a time.

FYI - I fixed the molding with the rubber mallot. Actually it was pretty easy. Took about ten minutes.

I am in the process of buying a 2000 challenger 1800. It has a cover, am/fm cd player PFD's and anchor, but no bimini top or carpet. I plan on buying the hydro-turf for it, but need to know where to get a bimini top for it. If anyone knows where to get one as I would like to get a sea doo bimini so that the color matches please let me know. Also, I am buying the challenger for $11,000.00. Can anyone let me know if this is a good price or not. Thanks!

This site seems to have just about every part to most seadoo boats:

I found the place! This web site has it all, but probably not the cheapest prices.

WOW sdegen great link. Do you think they really have all those parts in stock? I saw about 20 items (mostly cosmetic stuff) that I would like to get, unfortunetly the total cost of those items probably equals the value of my boat.

Thanks again for sharing that link!!

the rubber moulding holds the top side to the hull , or at least it seals the gap where they overlap - if its coming off beware that the two hulls are not separating.

Thanks for the info. This just happened on Saturday. I don't think the hulls are seperating. I think it was from the boat hitting up against a dock. I have not really looked at that close yet but it looks cosmetic.

Have there been cases of hulls seperating?
