The magnetic strip that holds the shower door closed in my T@B 320S has broken and whatever stopper that must have held it in at the bottom is gone.  Can this strip be ordered from NuCamp?  Are there other options for fixing this?  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Forums. 
    And, welcome to the "Shower Door Magnet" Club.  Mine just got a little dab of glue. There are a couple of other suggestions in this thread.

    LOL
    And yes, welcome to the T@B family.

    My "LOL" is because of the bottom issue.
    On my 2018-320S it is the top that is the issue.
    . . . when driving on dirt roads the magnetic strip comes out of the top.

    I have removed the standard shower door lock and now use a small clamp while driving on the upper edge of the shower door . . . it does the 'lock' function of keeping the door closed and prevents the magnetic strip from vibrating out (up).

    Thanks for your help.  I had no idea this was such a common issue.  The long magnet strip is in pieces now with some of them lost.  Can I order directly from NuCamp to get a new one?

    Anybody know the manufacturer of the plexiglass shower door that's in the 2018 320S Outback?  Looking at 2022 and would like to replace "new" shower door with the older one - new one looks like a pain with snap on curtain.

    @Jake23 Thanks for pointing that.  I looked at mine to see if it still has all its parts and it is OK but if I had to replace the magnetic strip I would first ask my dealer. If I could not have it replaced by NuCamp, I would have a look at The Gordon Glass website.  I have seen a 3/16 x 1/8 x 75" magnetic strip which look similar to ours.  They have many more slide-in strips with different configuration.  Hope this helps.

    Has anyone found a magnetic strip replacement that fits into the groove in the glass shower door? 
    Does anyone have the manufacturer name of the older glass T@B shower doors? TIA

    The magnetic strip from Gordon Glass did not fit so I sent it back. The manufacturer of the older glass shower doors is (or was) Parklane. I'll post more information if I can find the magnetic strip replacement.

    My dealer was able to replace my magnetic strip when the little stopper at the bottom fell out and was lost.
