Wiper arm c-channel

[KenandKaren]

I need the plastic-channel on both arms & both sides on our 2006 Ventana. Newmar has discontinued the part, Newmar P/N 07902. The vendor is Diesel Equipment in N. Carolina. Any body got any ideas? Really appreciate it! Thanks, Ken

My Monaco used that same "C" channel. I bought the remaining pieces that the Diesel Equipment Co. had left, several years ago. You would think that they would continue to offer something that is still used on thousands of coaches.

You'll probably need to find something similar, like the stuff used to cover wiring when running an exposed outlet inside of a house, and then paint it black.

Now this is just MY opinion, but they ALL do things like this. The problem is they are not making enough profit on these little things, so they "discontinue" it. They don't give a darn how it effects the end users (us).
I would be willing to bet they just couldn't justify all the effort in continuing carrying this with very few orders for it. The problem with that type of thinking is that this stuff is made out of thin plastic, and now is starting to become brittle after sitting out in the sun for 6 to 7 years now. NOW is the time that they need to carry this plastic stuff, NOT discontinue it! duh!!!
