Somewhere along the way, the top rail on the coach I'm rebuilding took a hit and was cut.

I'm assuming they are all the same.

Does anyone have one on a donor coach that they might be willing to trade/sell/swap.

My donor coach does not have one.

Dolph,

Please clarify what you mean by "top rail"?

The reason I ask is because you have stated; "My donor coach does not have one." The operative word in that statement is "one."

If it's the "rail" that covers the joint between the roof and the top of the side panels there are two one on each side.

Furthermore there are two types, one without a drip rail and one with a drip rail.

If it's the "rail" at the beltline there are two of them too one on each side.

Regards,
Rob M.

Roof rail that follows to the rear ladder.

I have the ladder and the hooks on the top of the coach, about 80 percent of the aluminum tubing is there... it's cut off north of the ladder, and then picks up again on the roof.

From the looks of things, a PO backed into something, and then snipped it off (literally, from the looks of things).

I'll post some pics in the morning.

So you are referring to the ladder and luggage rack?

...... it's cut off north of the ladder....


What direction is your coach pointed? Laughing
