At some point the designer/restorer had
to look up at the overhead vents which are chronic replacement problems.
"Should I make the handles that open and close the vent to look like the
originals OR should I get creative and specify a handle that doesn't look at all
like the original."
If I were the designer I would make the
handle the same shape as the original. If it cost a bit more to get
the Airstream shape I would consider that part of the cost of
production. I consider the decision to square off the new
handles poor design and quality control. It is my understanding
that inlandrv.com operators are superior in holding down the vent. I
applaud such innovation but cannot make use of them because my original handles
(which I have carefully saved) won't fit on the
mew operators.
I have other examples of quality going
out the window on aftermarket Airstream parts. We've probably beat this
one up enough :)
