Does anyone have a quick fix for a broken screen door latch on a '99 Safari? the thumb section that controls it broke off, and I have to use a screwdriver to pry it open. Not handy out here in big wind country. I've taped it open for now but the cat might figure out how to get out if I don't get a better solution.
Also the screws that hold the latches on the outdoor storage bins---what size are they? I"ve lost two so far....
Thanks!
Anne in Wyoming for now

Hi Anne,
If you have an electric drill with you (never leave home without one) you can drill a small hole in the end of the latch where the handle broke off and insert a wood screw as a temporary handle. Most Airstream dealers (and even some other RV dealers) should have a replacement latch in stock.
If you mean the screw on the inside that holds the lock in place (as well as the latch bar) I think it's a 10-32 about 3/8" long but I'd just take the lock in to the nearest hardware store and get one that was a proper fit. It seems to me that it would have had to fall inside the compartment? Maybe your trailer has different locks then mine.
Safe travels,
