topgun2 0 Posted December 2, 2016 Mike, I agree on the hot weather activity comment. That "natural" curl in the product is very strong. When I put mine on I left the gutter in my driveway in the sun for a couple of hours with weights pulling on both ends to try to straighten it out (all with marginal success). When I read that the "weather cooled down" I agreed that this might be the cause of the failure - I don't really know how long it takes that adhesive to fully set but I'd guess it is at least a full 24 hours. Given that you are going to wait until the weather warms, why don't you send a note to EZE Gutter to ask if they just might give you a "break" on a second try? Can't hurt to ask.

Overland 0 Posted February 6, 2017 I ran across these aluminum gutter strips over the weekend and thought I'd post them here. I don't know if they'd be a better alternative or not. You can't bend them so they'd have to run past the windows a bit, and of course they wouldn't blend in like the vinyl ones do. But I think they'd stay in place much better.

SeaDawg 1 Posted February 6, 2017 All our gutters are still in place, almost 3 years later, except the ones removed to reset one window, and replace the bath window with the newer insulated window. Prep is very important. As is, I think, temperature. We mounted ours in the summer. Probably July? I remember that the rhodos were in bloom.

SeaDawg 1 Posted August 13, 2019 So, there's been some discussion lately on eze gutters, so I thought I'd resurrect this (very) old thread. We didn't have acetone around, so we used windex all around first, then cleaned carefully with 70 per cent alcohol. This is to remove layers of wax buildup. Or, with newer unwaxed trailers, remove mold release. The toothbrush was a tool to smooth, press apply the adhesive to the trailer, using the handle as a pressor. Of course, i volunteered Paul's. ( lol, no,, it was an old toothbrush.) I'm happy to report that our gutters are still in place, in 2019, 5 years later. Except that darn little bathroom window. I think it's just too tight a curve. I've tried it again somewhere in the last five years, and it fell off again. Even done in very hot summer weather. And same good prep. Oh, well. Done with that. It never leaked anyway, just wanted it to match... shh, don't tell anyone it doesn't match, ok? Our biggest issue has always been the big port side window, because of our side mounted solar panels. Once we figured that out, and kept those weepholes cleaned regularly, and the panel angle set to not run a waterfall toward the weepholes, it's been good. Not an issue for you folks with roof mounted panels... Sherry 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
