Rubber Hinge
Bill, I just did a couple of mine. Order the hinge from BB not very
expensive. You may need help those doors are very heavy especially the double ones!! I took the chrome strip loose from both sides (the door and the coach) cleaned the channel really well and used silicone spray to allow the new rubber hinge to slide in. There is a small screw that pierces the rubber to hold it in place gotta remove it and replace it..not too hard..For me the hard part was trying to replace the chrome strip since it is threaded as well!!(you might get the screw tight against the chrome but not against the body of the coach!) This has to be done with some care because the chrome strip must be very tight against the coach or door won't align when closing. Also there was some sealer (mastic??) that needs to be replaced in order to insure a good seal along the chrom to body seam..Very IMPT..get help holding the doors they are heavy and you don't want to drop one. (body work is expensive) Good luck not too hard of a repair..did mine in a campground! and it was one repair that did NOT lead to another!! lol Scott 86FC35 "RUBY" Murrells Inlet SC "right next to heaven" --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "pattypape" wrote: > > Hi All, > > Going to replace a few bay door hinges. > Seems like the gas shocks were too strong and ripped the rubber, > Rain water gets into the bay. > Any tips on how to remove and insert the new rubber?? > Don't want to drive around without bay doors. > > Bill 88 FC |
