I have a 2000 Sea View #8341 model with those lousy centrex plastic bay doors--11 in all that crack & split whenever the outside temperature drops below 0 degrees outside. just had 2 split last week but all have split in recent years from cold temps. anyone else experience this problem?
when National was still in business, they replaced 7 of the 11 doors, but the replacements have also split. plastic was never tested in cold weather I imagine. anyway, Ortega/Del Craft web site claims they are making these doors in fiberglass now. has anyone done business with then before? any info about them would be appreciated or where I might find some used ones.

Ortega has proven to be very easy to deal with. You may have to call many times but when you do get through Jessica Cortes is very nice and easy to work with. Leaving a phone message just doesn't seem to work so I have to keep trying until she answers. The problem for you is the doors are about $500 each.

Check this thread and see if the people Joe met have any. The problem there is those doors will probably be plastic.
