Any tips on wing handles?

Post by Mancar1 »

You all know that noise the wind makes just a zinging in through a wing that doesn't tightly close. Any tips for a better seal, other than the folded paper route or matchbook. :lol: Weather seals appear to be in good condition. Just a lot of years on the handles, they look to good to replace.
This is on a 68 Ranger Camper Special. Thanks :fr:

the wing handles have a plastic tip on them that can get worn down. and or the seal rubber can be worn. those are the only two things that can let the wing leak air and not shut completely. here are some pictures of how someone else fixed thiers. a beer cap and 30 cents
