If you have ever tried to repair the Tambour doors
or try to get them to slide a little better you know how frustrating it can be.
In most cases what has happened over time is that the Tambour material has just
worn out and separated and there is very little that can be done to repair it. I
recently found a source for Tambour stock that I believe provides a very good
match to the Tambour doors in the mid 70's trailers such as my 76. Although all
of the overhead compartment Tambour doors were in very good condition, the
cabinet doors under the sink and next to the fridge and under the TV table were
pretty bad and did not slide in the tracks very well. Winona Manufacturing, Inc.
has a wood grain vinyl that should work perfect. The stock numbers are 264 and
231EF This material is on 1/2" centers where the slats bend and 5/32" thick and
has 60 degree groves and is recommended by them for RV and Marine vehicles. The
stock come in a 48" X 96" sheet and they quoted me 1pc at $64.08 plus
shipping.
Their web site is www.winonamanufacturing.comI
The sales rep I have spoke to is , Judy Lycke at
(800)-Tambour ext 120 and her e-mail is j.lycke@winonamanufacturing.com.
Hope this may be of help.
