Don't ask (yes, it was my fault). > > what i dont understand is why people pitch these things when they get cracked. they are fiberlgass.. they are FIXABLE. the supply is running out, they are getting harder to find, and everything used you find out there is cracked. you wont find a used one that doesnt need repair. anyway, i have a bunch of fiberglass pieces, including the ones you are asking about.. i also fix them. send me a pic of your damaged ones..i can fix yours, or sell you one that is ready to paint, plus your old fixable ones as a core. i fix them professionally w/ fiberglass matting/resin and filler, smooth them, and shoot them in primer. pieces come ready for the topcoat of your choice. by the way, the pieces you are asking about are the hardest ones to find out of the whole set..with the one after the sliding door being the hardest to find. let me know.. chris |
