    Toy Hauler Door Latch - Bauer BP-27 Washer Assembly Coming Apart

    Does anyone else have the issue of the washers being brittle and falling apart on their garage door handles?

    My buddy is a 328M owner (2018) picked up in December and already both washers disintegrated. Once the washer is gone, the door latch rotates on metal to metal contact.

    He called LCI and they advised no part found to replace said washers. So he purchased some UHMW 1/8" thick and is planning to cut his own.

    Since he knows I am an active member here on the forum... we thought I should ask- If anyone else has had this problem and what did they do to solve it?

    TIA!!

    I have an October '18 build date and never noticed any issues with the handles. I'll have to look tomorrow in the daylight... I'll get back to you.

    Thanks John.

    FWIW he ended up reducing the 1/8" material to 1/16" so the locking mechanism would work once closed.

    I think his build date was around June '18.

    This probably doesn't help much but my nylon washers look good. Having said that, based on his experience I will be keeping an eye on them. Thanks for the tip!
