Check with J&R Repair or the Official Hi-Lo Parts. I don't have the links but Google should point you in the right direction. I don't think the pneumatic struts would support the weight of the stone shield.

Hey Jack, I am confused on what you are asking for? Are you talking about the cover that hides possibly the front window, from being broken or bug splattered, while towing? These really are not HILO only parts, I mean the fiberglass or plastic cover which could be form fitting probably, but the rest wouldnt be, as many campers have this cover for the front facing window. I would think any RV repair place might help ya, you have bunches out there in Co. Just a hunch. The 2 near me dotn have front facing windows...

If not, pictures might help. Not that I have parts, but it might help others help ya.

Missing rock shield arm

I mentioned your situation to my Sheet metal fabricator husband. He thinks that any decent Metal fabricating shop could make one up for you. Let me know if you need me to take pictures of mine. States it probably won"t be cheap. What about that person in Florida that is parting out a HiLo? We just took out our HiLo Front window and cleaned all the old sealer off and installed with two layers of Butyl tape. Hubby loves the Lexell caulk. I spray painted the rock guard hardware and installed with stainless steel screws. I guess this front shield need to be checked at intervaL to see if the hardware needs to be tightened. Going down our less than perfect roads vibrates many things loose.
