My '68 Sovereign's door :(

ltenbrink · 06-29-2009, 06:57 PM

Hello all. First I'd like to say that I appreciate all of the conversation and sharing of knowledge on this forum - it has definitely helped me make better informed decisions on the repairs I'm making!

Now - to my current problem. The door and the hinge both are cracked plus the door doesn't close properly. I read a post where Andy (

) described what could befall an Airstream that could cause this, but here I am on the repairing end - what advice do you all have to repair the door and/or hinge so that it can shut properly (when we moved it here we drove 700 miles with the door ducttaped shut so it wouldn't get caught in the wind).

This wrecked unit may yield a useful door and frame for you. Not sure of the compatibility between 68 and 69.

Itenbrink -

I know someone that has a complete 67 door and frame here in Washington out of a donor trailer. I'll PM you the info.
