Hingeless cargo door sill

[dharris777]

Trying to post here for the first time and have no idea how but will try to do it. I've made a hinge-less cargo door ( frame kit from Vintage Trailer Supply) for a new exterior opening. I'm done with the door but trying to find a 23" piece of "sill" that the top of the cargo door frame slides up into to hold the door in place. The sill is an enlongated or opened S shape piece that is riveted to the trailer. I would really rather try to find this than use a piano hinge to hold the cargo door on. Can't seem to find the sill piece anywhere.

Have you tried an RV. Salvage yard?

My '67 had the type of hatches you're talking about but I don't remember exactly the type of frame it had. Any pictures, or is the part missing?
I think you are looking for a "Z" channel. See if you can match something up at Brunner Ent.

If not you may be able to rivet together some "L" or "T" channels to the proper size. I did this for roof supports on the Tradewind when I replaced the A/C.

Good Luck,
