Patrick1922 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Do you all have recommendations for weather stripping for the side door of a 1984 Sunrader? I have already stripped off the old seal. Curious of your recommendations of thickness, width, preferred brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Blu Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I also am looking for this rubberized door seal. It appears to be the same as the seal used above the rear wheel wells/fenders. Where can we find this stuff at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwaney5 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Try to check out some online rv parts store. They might have a good alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It was a custom extrusion made only for Sunrader. I have searched extensively and haven't found anything even close. If anyone finds something usable please let me know. I know lots of people looking for it. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The deal is it needs to be white. Not an easy thing to find and none I did find were even close Linda S Pic of the door and fender trim. They are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Blu Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Linda, Have you found this door seal in Black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 No nothing even close. There are some flap seals in black that might be usable but they wouldn't lock in the same way. I have never taken mine off so I don't really know how they fit in. Got that pic from another member looking for it. I will tell you this. Advantage RV that still makes the fender flares for Sunraders has a tiny bit left and they the only way to get it is to buy 2 fender flares and pay for the install. He won't sell it any other way. If he can't get more no one can. Show me your door so i can see how bad it is. I'm thinking maybe you could fill the gaps with something like this https://www.amazon.com/Performix-075815122094-Create-Your-Color/dp/B0027JIEPU Linda S Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It's a custom extrusion made for Sunrader. Chance of anyone else needing the same shape is not good. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda S I wonder if a slew of us need it, and I'm sure there are plenty of us, if we can get it made by an extrusion company. Probably super expensive...

Derek up North Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm going to guess that even if ever Sunrader owner was ready to place an order, you'd probably still not have enough orders to meet a minimum production run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Tooling + set-up cost + minimum production run = BIG $$$$$ I don't think 3D printing is a good application for long extrusions. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I found a part that looks similar. Do you think this could be used? May seem crazy, but maybe worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet. I agree, but check out what I found. I might buy a stick of it to try. Has anyone found the piece that seals between the cab and cabin?

Rockin Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thank you Linda- how do you apply this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I have mine but never put it on. When I took the old stuff off there was a huge gap between the cab and the coach that I had to fill before I could attach it. I have heard of people using contact cement or other types of glue. Some used a glue gun. Sometimes they applied white caulk to the edges. When I get around to mine I think I'm going to use that new flex glue. Very sticky and hold instantly. Seems to make a very strong bond. Glued the head back on my weed eater and it's still holding Linda S Filled the gap with exterior caulk. Was white so it looked good for a while. Not white anymore.
