Hey guys,

wondering if anybody out there makes a complete sheet metal sliding door for the late bay window?

I see there is a site called mamotorworks and they show a full outer skin but they have pictures of a primered up sliding door assembly and it looks like the full sheet metal deal including the inner supports etc?

Anybody out there making a quality repop sliding door for a bay window ?

can anyone confirm a site like this that its the full door or whats up with that picture?

thanks.

That product indicates that it is a " OE Quality Sliding Door Outer Skin" which would tell me that it is the outer sheet metal skin only. I don't think there is anyone out there making whole slider doors but I could be wrong.
Are you missing your door completely? There are donor parts out there still depending on what area of the world you are in.

there is likely no take off door around here that would be better than what i have,

my issue is the inside of the lower door is pretty rusted, somebody put an outer skin on but the inside lower is basically gone, i need to repair that or replace it

you might try derrick and barb at way out salvage. they're about 600 miles or so away. freight might not be too bad.
