Gorilla Construction Adhesive and never again!

Black shoe glue.

Maybe this on the center stair nosing

You can also get entire treads with integral nosing..like they should have used in the first place

Thanks guys. Tried gorilla glue but not construction adhesive. Such a poor design

Same thing with ours. I just called Newmar and ordered some more material. It was cheap and I have enough to do it a few times. I agree poor design. I tried gorilla glue but it didn’t hold. After closing the step a few times it broke again. This time I took my heat gun and tried to mold the front so it doesn’t contact the step when closing. Not really sure how well it’s going to work.

Our Bay Star has the same issue. We're going to get it fixed under warranty but could be a long term problem. Or maybe they got a bad batch of treads. Don't know. I'd imagine a DIY fix or replacement wouldn't be to hard.

We had it too- dealer just fixed under warranty

Did you use this? If so, can you post a picture of how it looks? Thank you!
