Thanks Don, After suffering with my tambour doors, ever though I've repaired them and they work, more or less, I'm gonna save  your information for further refference.

In most cases what has happened over time is that the Tambour material has just worn out and separated and there is very little that can be done to repair it. I recently found a source for Tambour stock that I believe provides a very good match to the Tambour doors in the mid 70's trailers such as my 76. Although all of the overhead compartment Tambour doors were in very good condition, the cabinet doors under the sink and next to the fridge and under the TV table were pretty bad and did not slide in the tracks very well. Winona Manufacturing, Inc. has a wood grain vinyl that should work perfect. The stock numbers are 264 and 231EF This material is on 1/2" centers where the slats bend and 5/32" thick and has 60 degree groves and is recommended by them for RV and Marine vehicles. The stock come in a 48" X 96" sheet and they quoted me 1pc at $64.08 plus shipping.   Their web site is www.winonamanufacturing.comI   The sales rep I have spoke to is , Judy Lycke at (800)-Tambour ext 120 and her e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Hope this may be of help.   Don Hardman 1976 Sovereign
