Tambour Door Repair?

I've got most all of my tambour doors in and operating but 2 are damaged. The lateral pieces have separated. It looks as though I can repair them somehow. Does anyone have any experience?

Thanks,

Ken

Thanks to Chuck and Silvertwinkie

Thanks Chuck. That's exactly what I was looking for. And thanks to silvertwinkie for going through all wrong ways to fix Tambour doors and then posting the right way in such fine detail.


Ken.

Thanks,

You can also replace the tambour. That is what I did in my 1973. Ordered all new tambour, cut to fit, stained to match.... but it costs more then the repair. pm me if you want to know more.
