My Maxum cabin door which appears to be made of a smoked plexiglass or
Lexan broke. It has no frame- just the door with some hinges and a
lock. It basically broke in 1/2. A new one will run about $500, and
that's "if they can get one". Is there anyway to bond the door back
together (it was a clean break)? Since the door is supporting its own
weight, I am leery that using some kind of glue/epoxy would hold. I am
also not sure if the door is plexiglass or polycarbonate or something
else.

Please provide a rough size and actual location of the door. What model Maxum?

Thanks

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.

Also, it is the door leading down to the cabin.
