Hello all! The top part of the track for the accordian door has split, and I was wondering if anyone knew a quick "go here to get another piece of plastic to replace". Thanks!

Paul,

Go Get a curtain to hand.... That accordian thing was a pain, never slid nicely or looked half way decent. We had a curtain made.

I agree the cardboard accordian door was a lame idea. I use beach towel curtains on taught lines.

I found the stock track was only good for cracking me in the forehead. I took mine out and gave it the heave-ho. A fabric curtain works much better.

I went to Home depot and bought the cheapest full size accordian door they had. Seems to me, I paid about 35 bucks for it. (got the simulated wood grain. thing was so cheap, I folded it in half to put it in the trunk of the car) Anyway, in the package for the door, there is a plastic door track, looks just like the original, had to trim it to fit, threw out the folding door, but track works just fine. By the way, I replaced the folding door that came with the boat and made a folding door out of solid wood with brass trim peices and latch. I didn't like the cardboard one either.

Hmmm...One could go to Home Depot, find the correct door, then contact the manufacturer to see if you can order a replacement track instead of having to buy the whole door kit.
