Window trim

The felt trim around the windows of my 2019 Fairford is loose and sagging. I have tried ordinary glue, Super glue and double sided Velcro to no avail. Any suggestions?

In the past I have used Evo-Stik with some success, but the obvious answer is take it to the dealer you bought it from and ask for a repair under warranty.

Have taken it back but they had no luck also.
Did notice when we were at the Motorhome Show at the N E C that the display van had the same problem so obviously AS have a “ Glue “ problem.
Any chance they take any notice of customers once they have paid up.

I had the same issue around the windows on my new warwick,not trusting simple repairs to a system that cannot get it right in the first place ( i don't think its a rare deffect) I did it myself.With care by masking off immediate area i used spray carpet adhesive which has held great since and feels soundly fixed.I think being spray and more "liquid" than contact it went on even and quick.Not suggesting there isn't alternatives but it has worked for me.

Mine was done when it was 4 weeks old, AS Willesley glued and stapled it in place.

I know its frowned on to knock AS on this forum so i will refrain from listing all the minor short commings I believe they let themselves down with..but really..how difficult can it be securely fix felt to wood?

You should see the other 28 problems I have.

double sided carpet tape fixed ours in minutes, no problem with overspray as with glue etc. professional carpet tape that is.
looked like the glue originally used was not applied all over, just small dabs here and there, watery?, thin, they may have used a spray can type?

I notice that there are a lot of companies on the net selling equipment and stuff for van converters. They all sell the felt material and spray cans of the glue that goes with it. None of the glues offered are brand or product names that I know, so I?'m wondering if these are special purpose made specifically for long term attachment to wood or metal under temperature extremes as found in vans?

Yes - there are glues specifically designed for this. I have used the following product when trimming with carpet in the footwell of cars:
