Crusader Window Stay Arm
Spares support for older Crusader products is patchy at best. Reproducing the window stay arm locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. Variants differ between years and models, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break
Stay arms snap at the pivot hole. UV exposure breaks down the polymer chains in the original material. By the time the surface looks chalky or faded, the strength underneath is already gone.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
