Welcome to the forums. Your question was one of the first I posed when I joined this site. I also had sticky, broken tambour door on my '72 overlander. I took all of the horizontal doors out, cleaned all of the pieces up and glued fabric on the broken paperbacked doors. After the first Canadian winter, the glue let loose on many of the doors, so I redid them with better glue. They work well and I love them. The vertical doors under the stove top and sink are a different matter. After extensive searching and crawling around down there, I have come to the conclusion that the counter top as well as everything in it will have to come out to make a good repair the those. For now, I have cleaned all of the tracks, where dust can collect, with q-tips and silicone spray. I have used black gorilla tape to hold the broken panels together. It works, but not well. I want to replace the harvest gold counter with butcher block sometime, and thats when the vertical doors will get a good fix. I suspect you've found this on yours, but isn't it interesting that all of the fabric backed doors are still intact?
Hope this helps and if you would like more details, let me know.
