I Recently had an accident getting fuel and smashing the doors leaving the fuel island. I have 3 doors and some type of trim that was damaged. My main compartment which is the (largest) door is completely off the hinge. I have it ratched from the inside holding it in. I understand that I have to take off several doors. The other doors are operational but scarred. The C groove under on the trim is bent square instead of being rounded I hope these pictures can speak better than I am writing. I am willing to tackle this just need some direction. I've searched on this site and others trying to piece together a plan. My plan of action is as follows: Drill out the rivets holding the door the C groove. Take out the doors by either sliding them out or hitting them up pulling them off the gas shock. Try and replace the I guess you call it trim railing that holds the C groove doors in place. That is bent also. I have a few questions
1. When drilling out the rivets, what size drill bit do I have to use? Pic Labeled 1 and 2
2. Do you think C Groove railing can be repair or another made at a metal fabrication shop? Labeled 1 and 2
3. i've Check with several RV salvage yards regarding replacing the main door ( i.,e., Visone and Colawrvs.com) and no go so far on a replacement.
4. What do you call these items that I have circled in PIC LABELED 4. It is bent and needs replacing?
5. Should I use SS screws or New rivets as replacements for old screw holds?
Any help Is Appreciated!
