I'm not sure where exactly to look to find one, but I've been going through all the RV parts sites and it's darn near impossible to find..mainly cuz it's a part mainly for PU's.
What I'm looking for is the little "T" clip assembly that's used to lock the fold up door to the ceiling for stowing. On my 85, it's a plastic clip that's mounted on a small circular base plate and that's screwed to the ceiling.
The part is actually for the side of the roof where the door gets "locked" into place when it's down. I have the original "T" for the "down position", but the screw has been stripped through the aluminum. I've tried JB Weld and putting in a new hole, but that patch only lasts a short time. This past weekend, the "T" popped out again and I was looking at the clip that holds the door to the ceiling and it has a much larger mounting base that I think would be a better fix.
Please tell me someone here knows what I'm talking about, and possibly have a location where I could score one online. Thanks in advance.
Send an e-mail to Vangard Industries //www.palominorv.com and I am sure they can set you right up.
Have you tried the local dealer? The Palomino website will give you the nearest dealer to you also.
You are right, this will be a specific manufacturers part, so the dealer will have them, or they can be ordered directly from the manufacturer in most cases.
Good luck.
