Diamond Plate Lower Wrap

[dlb53151]

My diamond plate lower wrap on my 2016 CL16 TBS is detaching from the aluminum frame.  This is allowing water to splash up through the gap.  I talked to a sheet metal guy who suggested he could make a strip of aluminum to secure the diamond plate to the frame and thus close that gap as well but haven't been able to get a quote from him.  What have others done to remediate this issue?

Ah yes, this is a good opportunity to remove that section of plating and use some better fasteners to screw the vertical trailer wall back into the frame. There is a thread on this as well. LL just used a few basic screws to attach this portion and they will fail creating a gap on the interior floor.

I used some heavy stainless lag screws, made a huge difference. Only had to do that on same side as yours and on the passenger side from the wheel well to the storage compartment. Took me an afternoon to complete both sides. Replaced all the metal attachment screws to stainless as well.
