06 DSDP Screen Door handle holder thing
On my 06 DSDP the screen door is held against the entry door by a slot like thing on the entry door that consists of a little frame with a piece of rubber that the handle for the screen door goes behind. This rubber piece has dried out/torn and no longer holds the screen door handle.
I have looked on ComNet and searched online but don't find a replacement for that piece. If no one on here can point me to the replacement part I think I will try to just find a piece of heavy leather or rubber and make my own.
Has anyone else had to replace this? Thanks!!!

I used a piece cut from a drink cozy. The thin, flat kind, not the thick foam rubber things.
J hope I'm talking about the same thing you are.

I ordered one from Newmar and I believe for this little piece of rubber it was like $13, which didn't surprise me .!

For my 2003 DSDP I took the old piece out and used it as a template on a cheap rubber mud flap ($4 for two flaps).
Has worked great ever since and I have enough spares to outlast me  !
My problem has been finding a handle for the door itself. One end cracked (the end you put more pressure on). I crazy glued it and flipped it around and now pull gently. It seems every other door handle is either a touch to large or too small.

Can any of you get a picture of what you are talking about. When we bought our used coach there was no rubber, and I did not realize there should be. I have been pulling the screen door far enough to lower the metal piece inside the frame instead of in between. I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly.
Thank you

I'd love to, but right now there's about 3 feet of snow around the MH 
At this rate it will be late March before I can get out to it.

Can you get a photo of the area and piece you are talking about? There seems to be a couple of items being discussed.
Thanks
