We just purchased an 11X11 Canope from Big Lots and sadly, a storm came up and the frame has several pieces that are damabed. Is there a way to get replacements for the frame.

in most cases the latch under the door is seized. if this is the case you will have to get inside and remove the inner plastic panel to look in with a light. around the middle of the door on bottom you should see the latch . lay a piece of cardboard or rags down to catch the mess of oil.squirt lots of penetrating oil and transmission oil on the entire latch, really soak it.there should be a rod coming down from the handle to the latch. try pulling up and down with a pair of pliers or vice grips. it may take several tries but should release. depending on how bad it is seized you may have to push hard or hit with the soul of your shoe.be careful when you push that you don't fall out.after it opens you will need to work the latch several times to make it work good...good luck
You will have to drop the whole a frame down, because the bushes are split two piece type, cone shaped and feed in from each side, then just knock them out with a big drift..
When the truck was new there was a U shaped clip that holds the brake hose to the frame. By now you are probably looking a big lump of rust with a hose coming out of one end. Get in there with a screwdriver or cold chisel and start chipping away at the lump keeping tight to the frame as you do it. You should be able to break enough away to get the hose loose from the frame. Now a couple pairs of Vice Grips should help get the line and the hose separated. Use lots of penetrating fluid beforehand. If I remember correctly, the line traces back to the proportioning valve which should be located beneath the radiator on the driver's side so it could be trouble taking it apart as well. If the line doesn't want to come apart at the frame, it might be a better bet to find a good place inside the engine compartment and cut it and splice in a new piece. You will need a double flare kit to do this. You can guarantee that a single flare will leak so double flare the old line.
If it is welded to the muffler you will have to get a cutting torch and cut it off. I would recomend going to a muffler shop and having them weld on a new piece. It is cheap. It cost me $40 to do one on my truck. Dont go to the dealership, it will cost you several hundred dollars.
It is a big job. I had to move my dash aft several inches to access the heater core. Lots of disassembly. Chiltons, all data, or any manual are a big help.
