Ceiling Door Support Cable

Hello

I have a 2018 HW27KS pop up

the cable that holds my one piece door to the ceiling (that slides along to rail) one eyelet has broke off. I have searched but can not find the part to fix this. Most parts I have found seems to be a battery connection piece, which is not strong enough. Does any one have a link to a fix?
In the pic, one end is okay the other the eyelet has snapped off.

Try a ship chandler. They deal in a lot of stainless steel cable and fittings.

Buy them direct from forest river or through a dealer. i bought a set that way.

Part number: F100212914

Its the white slider piece in the roof track and the cable.

You will have to unscrew from the side of the door, drop the roof track at least partially on one end so you can switch out the white slider and cable with the new ones. Then just screw it back to the door side.

TIP: leave the door screw just loose enough that it can pivot on the side of the door easily. The biggest reason those cables fray/break is because the cables are forced to bend at the crimp point because the eyelet the screw goes through is held too tightly and cant move around keeping the cable straight.
