I replaced the vinyl glazing on the sliding door of my 33 about a year ago. I found it at a glass shop (pretty big one) that used it to make/repair home shower door enclosures. Best to take/send a sample of what you have since there are so many different sizes. Mike Ford

Ya, i went to a shower place and the guy told me to just use silicone to seal it. Sorry but i wanted to do it the right way. I've gone to the point that i ordered a sampler kit from c.r.laurence who is kinda big and they didnt have the size i need. Does your contact have anymore of it?

Pete: I tried 4 or 5 places before I found one that had it. The place is in Gainesville, FL. When I showed them a piece of the old one the guy went back in the shop and came out with about 6 ft. of it and said "This is from the end of the spool." He wouldn't even take any $ for it. I might have a small piece in my dock box that I could take back and see if they have any more or I can send you their name/address and you can send them a sample. My boat is over in St. Augustine and it will be a few weeks before I can get over there to see if I have a leftover piece. I'm going to the Ft. Lauderdale show this weekend and the next weekend is "iffy" at this point. Mike

Hi mike, if you could give me the name and address i have alot of the old glazing that i could send to that place. I havent given up looking around here in new england area. Maybe this guy could give me the manufacturer and i could make contact with them. I need about 50 ft. to do the outside and another 50 to do the inside. Its all dried out and breaking apart. Thanks for any help you can give me Pete
