Regal marine does not have a clue where to get a replacement.Help !!!!! Charlie
Charlie, I've got a 1998 Glastron (Carlson branded) boat.
It's got a cuddy door.
The door had a label on it - Spartech.
I asked Glastron for the replacement part. They said that don't support "old" boats like mine. Nevermind that it was a upper 40k boat back in 1998..
They did check with the Glastron mothership and offered to sell me the whole cuddy door for $800.
I did some more digging, based on the label that was on the door - Spartech was purchased by another company at about the same time. Dug up a phone number and some other reading suggested that they built a bunch of doors for various models.
Spartech won't sell directly to the public. I tried. I begged, I pleaded.
My Glastron dealer (local) called them 6 times in a 3 week interval. They didn't want to ship orders under $100.
Eventually after 3 weeks, I managed to get the wheels sent.... $30 for two of the lower wheels - it's not the wheels that break, it's the plastic guides that they sit on.
Any label on that door at all? Maybe post up a photo of the wheels.
Other "body" parts on this boat that fail, get cracked, etc - I've pursued fabrication.
