2008 Winnebago 35J storage bin latch/lock??

We live in Northern Michigan and as a result the nylon latch/catch on the outside bays are buggered up. I think there is probably a spring inside that is rusted up. I took one of the catches off today and it would be very simply to replace all of them if I can find a source for them. A quick check of Camping World's website turned up a goose egg. Does anyone have an idea as to where I can get new ones or even what the proper name is so I can keep searching? As always Thanks!!

Is this what you need? $6.10 from Winnebago Outdoor (Official Winnebago parts and accessories provider) as well as on Amazon and from other dealers.

I assume you are aware that you can download Winnebago parts diagrams, owners manuals, wiring diagrams.... for virtually every Winnebago RV, from 1975 to present here:

There's also links to parts and service suppliers and service tips.

The direct URL for the parts manual for your 2008 WFD35J is here. Your latch is on Page 131.

When I need a Winnebago specific part, I look it up on the manual for my coach, copy the part number, paste it into a search engine, and find out who has it in stock. Sometimes it helps to search for the part number in the Winnebago Parts and Accessories Catalog which will sometimes list old part numbers and point you towards new ones.

I found out letting these doors slam shut is not good for latch longevity. Now I close them slowly while holding out on the handle.

I buy my Winnie parts from Lichtsinn. They are great in my book
Just call them with your your MH VIN number and they will be able to get you the part.

These are a problem area. Do keep them lubed up as best you can and that seems to help. You can buy replacement plastic ones of Amazon and Camping World. But If you can find them getting a metal one means the plastic plunger won't break again.

I answered my own question!!!! They are called baggage door locks. Who would have thought! $10 bucks at Camping World!
