Default Repair Maxum Cabin Door

It is a 1998 Maxum 2400 SCR. I am guessing, but the dimensions are
approx 48 H x 24W x 3/8 thick.

I looked on Maxum's site and they say the door is acrylic.



Then I believe we are talking about a flat piece of acrylic, not something

bent
or molded? Is this the door to the head/chaging area?

The reason you're being asked to pay so frickin much is that you're paying

for
the function, not the material.

Carefully measure the door, and order an acrylic "table top" of exactly

the
same dimensions from a local plastic supplier. You will have a choice of

colors
and tints, and the materials price should be well under $100.

Transfer the hinges and other hardware from the old door, or use the old

door
as a template to locate new hinges, etc, on the
new piece of acrylic.

Presto! Good as new, and you can be proud of doing it yourself and saving

a
couple of hundred bucks in the process.



Take the old door to Tap Plastics or another plastic supplier, and they will
cut a panel the same exact size. I think they cut for free, and even if
they charge a couple of bucks, is money well spent. They have the equipment
to cut without chipping and breaking.
