Shower door latch

[Larry C]

I need a replacement shower door latch for our 2001 30' Excella. I've tried every place I can think of, and no luck so far.
Anybody got a clue where to get them?
Thanks,

Larry

They are no longer available. Have not found a suitable substitute.

I'd try here. But you probably already have.

Out-of-Doors Mart!, More Airstream Parts on-line than anyone!

They still have the part number (702415-100) but it's sold out. I'll call them in the morning and see if they are getting more. I think I can use some "Super Velcro", to hold it shut while traveling.
I'm finding Velcro almost as necessary as duct tape...

Thanks y'all

Hi Larry, I am resurrecting your old, unresolved post as I have the same problem, and cannot find a replacement for the original shower door latch (the thin plastic wing that slides between the door and frame when turned vertical has bent down a bit, and now threatens to lock us in our shower!). Did you ever find a suitable substitute? Or has anyone out there tried the newer Airstream latch on older models? It is “Shower Door Latch 703911-101” at that same store.

Thanks,
Adrian

After continuing my search on the forums (including another revival of your old post on the subject Larry!), I have concluded no one has solved the 2000-2008 shower latch replacement problem without fabricating their own part. There are many stories of various family members getting locked in the shower though... fun reads those.

I will be ordering the new version of the latch and modifying it as simply/effectively as possible to function... wish this new guy luck! (Proof of new guy status = my avatar photo is currently upside down for some reason)

I saw two potential solutions elsewhere on the forum. Wanted to include them here in case anyone else is new to the issue:

Brass slider idea (Dennis 45, response #2):

Involved but has potential for straight forward with parts from big box stores (might need belt sander) (R. G, response #5):
