Bungie Broke

[Fishin BC]

Had the PU out of the garage last night getting ready for our Sierra trip on the 9th.  I popped one of those bungie dealies off on the end corner of the back bunk.  :swear:  Can you restring those?  PU is a 1982 Starcraft.

You should be able to restring the bungee cord.  Many people use a straightened wire coat hanger and attach the new bungee to it and then feed it through.  When I replaced the bungee on my PU, I taped the old bungee and the new bungee together and then pulled the old bungee out one side and it pulled the new bungee cord through.

You can order the cord online somewhere but I don't remember the address.  I went by a local shop that makes boat covers and awnings.  They had a short piece laying around gave it to me.  The coat hanger thing does work to string the cord and it is not to hard to do.  Just don't leave a sharp end that can poke through the canvas.  
 
By the way, I understand that going without the cord can cause the bunk end to pull away during a hard rain.

We had to restring a Bungee on our very first popup, a '76 Coleman. We bought the cord from Lowes Hardware. If you have one local, it wasn't real expensive. We restrung it just like tlhdoc did. Didn't want to risk poking a hole in the canvas with a wire hanger.
