Yeah, my '76 developed this problem recently, too. =:O :(
I'll be addressing the problem this winter (Just put the camper in
storage for the winter, double :( ), but I, too, would like to hear
people's thoughts on repairs for this problem. I know you can get
replacement metal for the lower door track; rocker panel assemblies are
also available.
Anybody ordered replacement panels for this job from Whipme? Other
sources better? I'll also need a new big swivel-type hinge for the rear
of the door, you know, the one that attatches to the roller on the track
that runs under the rear-most side window.
Lots of work to prep our happy camper for Inuvik next summer! Glad you
folks are here for support.
Tobin
