[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!
