Looking for the Old Style Rain Deflector!

[Gerdo]

I'm looking for the Old Style Rain Deflector to go over my doors. The old kind that have rounded ends and stick out about 1.5". I've beed told that they are not being made any more. Does anyone have a source for them?

Sorry, not a great picture but I hope it gives you the idea of what I want.

Hey Gerdo, I can't tell from your picture, but if this is what you are looking for


They sell these at most trailer supply stores.

Help:

Look at my doors, which aren't trimmed out on the top yet.

Should I put the same straight piece like that on mine? Or is there a "rounded" solution for me?

Anastasia is Nov. 10, and I'm running out of time.

Overandout,
That is exactly what I'm looking for. Everyone that I have talked to said that they have been discontinued. I haven't found a place that still sells them. Where did you buy yours? Do you have a phone number or website? I don't have any leaks but it would be nice to shed as much water/snow off the tops of my doors.

I've seen them in different sizes at a RV parts store on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma WA. Danny

OK, I'll take your word for it that they have the gutters, but what do they call them? I've been searching their site and coming up with nothing that resembles those gutters.

My local RV dealer shows them in their online catalouge they're called drip caps. Just to compare pricing; a 27" drip cap is $5.19 CAD
The Littleton dealer has the 27" for $4.49 US

Remember to order a cap that's an 1 or 2 wider then your door opening, so the water drains down the side of your trailer, and not into the door

Thanks Ken! One of those dealers is within a 5-minute bicycle ride of my office, and three of the others are on my way home!

Ira,
Try black or hammered gold to match your crab drop.

Gerdo, tryhttp://www.not-just-parts.com/default.asp?store=0&cat=Trailer%2FBody+Components%2FTrim+%26+Molding&pg=2 They're calling them drip caps. Jim

Since the sides of my tear are wood, at some point I'm going to make a pair to match.

It's called drip molding and is soft aluminium that will bend to the contour of your door. Look about 3/4 way down the page.

Thanks. This will DEFINITELY bend, right?

And this is great. They're taking PayPal payments now! So I can deduct it from my checking account and hide it from the wife!

I guess tomorrow I'll go and take my exact measurements--just in time for Anastasia. Although he can ship a long piece and it's easy to cut, it's probably easier and cheaper to ship if it's already cut to size, and I'm sure Grant doesn't charge for the cuts. I guess I'll also order my T-molding for the tops of the doors.

As you can see, I used standard door trim molding around the other sides. Nothing fancy, but it SEEMS to give a nice, flush seal.
