This subject has come up but can't find the posts. Moondawg has much more knowledge than I. Basically remove the alum. covers, drill holes in the corners and make the best straight cut you can to the corners. Will need channel stock to hold the panes of glass or plexi. I'm sure the been there done that folks will be of more help on this one.

finding a RT glass door is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Yep, been looking for one going on three years now. To my knowledge nothing else fits. Think the skin is available but matching the orginal paint would be tough.

a good paint shop can match paint well. I had my paint mixed and matched for my machines they used a scanner machine and took 12 shots of the original paint. you couldnt tell a difference in color.
