Speaking of dents in sliding doors - is there a supplier (inexpensive) for
the skin that goes ove these doors? I had mine replaced with a door from a
junk yard - but the door must have been leaning against other doors because
the door shape is slightly off so that it doesn't align perfectly with the
body at the left side of the door (from the outside). Kinda wish I had just
just had door skin put on the old door... paid 450 for the sliding door
(with central locking)...
