Replacement door slide

bean-HILO · Aug 20, 2014

The door slide on my 96 Towlite is cracked and jams all the time due to it flexing when pulling on it. It is 8x11" but all the replacements are huge and molded so I can't cut them down. I found this (Lippert 239061) on Amazon that looks promising with a little trimming,

Has anyone used this or something else that works?

I believe some have made them out of Plexiglas and Lexan.

Like Ruben said, use a piece of plexiglass. I know that Home Depot carries it. Just take your old piece in for right thickness.

You can often get a piece of scrap plexiglass and Lowes/Hope Depot cheaply. Even if you cannot find plexiglass that is thin enough, you can shave the top and bottom edges with a knife or razor blade to make it fit into the grooves.
