Default Re: roof/door trim rail.....perplexed

It curves down on the tail end. It is nailed into the wood frame and serves as a molding between the tops of the door frame openings and the roof panels above. It also, judging by its shape, serves as a drip rail (gutter) to shed water off the doors/windows.


So.... I can find no mention of the piece in any reference material i can access in manuals, catalogs or on line. Would like to know it "official name" so i can at least refer to it properly. The nails which attach it to the wood frame are built into this rail (it appears to be a two piece deal pressed together). It is about 75 inches long. It has what looks to be a heavy paper or cardboard "backing" perhaps for squeak supression??.



I have talked with the parts guru at Brattons and he said he is not familiar with this piece or its "gasket". I feel like maybe i am not using the right terms to explain.



Feedback appreciated.

Can you post some pictures?
