Guys.....I have the original handle AND an additional better condition outside one. The one in the photo is NOT like mine. THat is one from a more recent model. I guess I will try to continue with some penetrating oil. BUT...I can't find any damn set screw ANYWHERE. If someone has a photo of where I can pull that screw and start trying to get the thing off, I would appreciate it.

I'm NOT going to do any gull wing thing. A, I am 6' 3 and I am not going to FOREVER be ducking and bowing to get in and out of my baby....and B, the slider could NEVER be opened in any parking situation in that configuration. I want it in at least somewhat original layout. But trying to find ANY of the roller bearing hardware is impossible. I may resort to trying to find someone who can do the nearly impossible of integrating new bearings into the brackets.

I like the idea of Gull Winging my slider, but am hesitant for the same reason you are, Leakbox. I want to be able to open my slider if I'm parked in a parking lot.

But dang, Gull Wings look so cool!

Frosty: check out the guy on Facebook that used the flip hood hinges from an 80's buick for his gullwing. it allows for the gullwing to open in tighter parking and it raises it to a higher height when its up. its pretty slick. definitely my favorite gullwing set up that I have seen.

cant log in to FB at work, but if it is on the hood hinges it is the one. It is the only one I have ever seen done that way and I think that it is genius.
