Re: Suburban 58 clamshell door mechanism HELP

personally never worked on a suburban but maybe you can find how it goes together in this assembly manual. may take some time to find the correct page but worth downloading onto your computer for reference.

Type 105-A window balance for 9 to 11 pounds per sash, this one from Pullmanmfg. There's a discussion about this on the stovebolt site.
