[A/S] Re: looking for seller of rock guards that used to be on ebay





Greetings kuchenlover!

I am afraid that I cannot help you with the contact information for 
the vendor who advertised and sold the segment protectors on E-Bay, 
but there are numerous sources for the Rock Guards.  The Rock Guards 
are current Airstream parts and any Airstream dealer or Airstream 
Service Center should be able to order a rock guard for you if they 
don't have one in stock.  It is my understanding that there are two 
basic varieties - - the one-piece that is typically utilized with the 
1969-? coaches with the smaller wing windows, the wider three-piece 
unit that is utilized with the the later model units having the deep 
wrap wing windows pioneered on the 1970s Argosy coaches.  The center 
section of the three-piece unit is the part that is often utilized on 
the Vintage coaches having a single front window (pre-1969).  I 
suspect, but do not know, that the segment protectors may be 
available from Airstream as well.

The rock guards are costly, but so then are the replacements for the 
Wing Windows.  It hasn't been too long since I had a new three-piece 
rock guard installed on my '78 Minuet, and I am thoroughly satisfied 
with its quality and performance (Ace Fogdall RV in Cedar Falls 
handled the details including installation for me).

Good luck with your search!
