Cutty Cabin Hatch Slide

#1 04-01-2007, 01:17 PM

My 1978 V 20 cutty cabin hatch, slides against some type of "V" shaped plastic which is pop rivited to the hatch. Well anyway, the plastic is cracked and pieces are broken off. First, what are these plastic things called? Where can I get replacements?

Was just looking at mine the other day. Mine are alum. with rivits as well. They look pretty easy to make out of metal/alum. Just need a brake for bending alum. Those must be harder then finding the hatches.

I bought some 1/8 alum, angle and cut to leanth and riveted them on, works perfect!!
Any hardware, Home depo, lowes will have the angle!

Make sure when you replace that when you rescrew the rails down to add 5200 to the screws{not to much, it will spread out and get in the wat of the slide}, and if hole are crapy from water, do the Golf tee trick and redrill ;)
