Hello!

When I first bought my westy, the left pop up arms was bent but with some effort it still worked. Last night, the right side of the push bar popped out of the right side.

Thought it would be nice to replace the old hardware with new parts at this time. But haven’t been able to find anything.
Are replacement parts available anywhere?

Thanks in advance!

1984.

The left side is def bent, bed of top has to be negotiated by pulling the roof just right in order to fold out. The right side is pretty fucked.

Found the part on craigslist, there is a guy south of Seattle who has a small piece of property that is stocked with used parts.
