Hello All respected Wanderers,
On my older fleet model camper I had installed a door from a 2000 eagle that was wrecked. The door had a small puncture at the base..after several trips down looooooong, baaaaad dirt roads in Baja, my rear window in the door "broke free" and slid down about 2 inches leaving a gap to the outdoors at the top..shortly there after the same thing happened to a buddy of mine who replaced the rear door on the wrecked camper he bought and rebuilt. both doors had the factory screen door option. he took his apart before I did and repaired it. basicly, he siliconed the window back in place.. when I took mine apart, it was the same problem. the little (meager) plastic tabs that hold the window in place had broken..
When I got my new ( used ) Ranger I decided to take the door apart and silicone the window in place before the tabs broke..this camper had no screen door option..to my surprise, the tabs were WAY beefier than the others with the screen option...strange?? Seemed like maybe they would have held...they will now!
anyways, I took some photos of the door in pieces and the fix....anybody else experience this problem???
