Shock absorbing material on steps bracket coming out

[Randy]

There is a layer of shock absorbing material between the frame steps bracket and the fiberglass of the camper.  This dampens the pressure when entering anded exiting the camper.    The material has started to come out.  The steps  are removable but the bracket is welded to the frame.  I don't see a way to create a little separation between the bracket and the Ollie without putting a lot of pressure on the camper.  

Any suggestions?

Following this as we have the same issue on 2017 LE2.

I assume that you have filed a Service "ticket" regarding this issue?

There have been a number of occasions in the past where these "rubber strips" have shifted from their original location.  Unfortunately, I'm not aware of exactly what was done to correct each situation.  And, to my knowledge, there has only been ONE Oliver that was ever actually removed from its original frame to be have that frame replaced.  Therefore, Service should be asked how to proceed in getting this "rubber strip" back to where it belongs and what can be done to keep it there.
