side curtain plastic

Unread post by schoolminug » September 1st, 2018, 10:00 am

Hi,

Anybody tried to replace the plastic on their side curtains or back curtains? My vinyl is in great shape but the clear plastic has failed. Seems like the right material and a sewing machine should do it.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Many years ago, someone over at G503 took door skins to an upholstery shop and had new clear plastic windows with zippers sewn in. The zippers allow the windows to be opened,

About a year ago, I followed suggestions reflected in Surveyor's post above and found a boat repair shop that did a nice replacement of door plastic windows quickly and at reasonable cost.
